The observation home is under the Social Welfare Department of the Delhi government. The home had witnessed several deaths of inmates in 2010 due to improper care and medical facilities. The matter was highlighted after the death of 26 inmates in just five months in 2010. Delhi's Chief Minister Shiela Dikhshit had to intervene later and ensure an upgraded infrastructure to avoid deaths.
