Tikri Border (Delhi), January 10, 2021: A well-known international NGO Khalsa Aid is all set to provide shelter to the farmers, who are regularly reaching the Tikri border to join the Kisan morcha.

The shelter home of Khalsa Aid, which can accommodate over 800 persons, will be available for everyone from tomorrow onwards. The shelter home, also called ‘Vishram Ghar’ has been set-up near the New Bus Stand of Bahadurgarh in an area of 18,000 square feet.

Divulging the details about the shelter home, Amarpreet Singh, the director of Asia Pacific Khalsa Aid, said that the initiative has been taken by the organization in view of the increasing number of farmers on the Tikri border day by day and the chilly weather.

He also informed that around 50 Indian and western toilets along with washrooms will also be installed for the shelter people.

“The work of installing toilets under a shed is under construction right now but will be ready from Monday. The shelter home will also provide a WiFi facility for the farmers. CCTV cameras will also be installed in the shelter, having an area of 18,000 square feet. A team of around 20 volunteers will always remain present in the shelter to assist and help the farmers, “said Amarpreet Singh.

The shelter home will contain two partitions for male as well as female and the mattresses along with blankets and pillows will be provided to the farmers. The matting has been done on the whole floor.

Amarpreet Singh added, “Proper water supply will be maintained in the shelter as a borewell near it has been installed. The supply of electricity will also remain active throughout the day as the generator has also been fixed.”

Notably, the Khalsa Aid already set-up a similar kind of shelter home at the Singhu border, which is having a capacity of around 500 people.
