NEW DELHI: The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) will ask the Delhi government for the details of the private shelters in Delhi. The DCW chief said that the government gave the licenses to all the private homes hence through the list it would be clear if there are illegal shelters run by private in Delhi. "We have the old list of such private shelters in Delhi hence we will ask for a new list," DCW chief Swati Maliwal said.
She also said that government-run shelters in Delhi are properly monitored and the government gets the reports but the private shelters were out of such inspection from the side of authorities.
"After taking the charge as DCW Chief I have visited many such shelters. Yes, the conditions are not always good but we never got any complaint of rape or sexual abuse from the shelters. But this does not mean that we should exclude the shelters thereafter I ordered fro an audit," said Maliwal. She also said that the Commission on its own has conducted several inspections in govt run shelter homes in Delhi. The Commission has also inspected several private run homes on receipt of complaints.
