60 Homeless Rescued by Cops in Nagpur During Heatwave Drive A joint multi-agency operation under Nagpur Police’s “Mission Mukti-3” initiative successfully rescued 60 homeless and vulnerable individuals across the city on the second day of Nautapa, a nine-day period marked by extreme summer heat. The operation, conducted at locations such as LIC Chowk, Samvidhan Chowk, Indore Chowk, and Mithanim Dargah, aimed to provide immediate relief to those exposed to life-threatening conditions. Of the 60 rescued, six were minor beggars, 11 were women, and 43 were men. All were relocated to shelter homes, including facilities managed by the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and non-governmental organizations like the Divya Vandana Aadhar Foundation and Sahyadri Foundation. The rescued individuals received medical check-ups, first aid, food, hydration, and protection from the scorching temperatures. During the operation, a 74-year-old missing person, Surendra Khetrapal, was located at Indora Chowk and reunited with his son, Somesh. Police Commissioner Ravinder Singal emphasized the initiative’s goal of ensuring safety and dignity for vulnerable populations. “Instead of offering alms, we are focusing on shifting and rehabilitating such individuals so they receive proper care and are not exposed to heatwave risks,” he stated. The campaign also involved senior officials, including NMC commissioner Vipin Itankar, district women and child development officer Sunil Mesre, and assistant commissioner of social welfare Sukeshani Telgote. Child Protection Cell head Mushtak Pathan and Child Helpline teams supported the rehabilitation of minors, ensuring their welfare.#nagpur_police #nmc #mission_mukti_3 #divya_vandana_aadhar_foundation #sahyadri_foundation
