Create room for the homeless
Here is a unique idea if we want to resolve the problem of homeless people in our country. I propose that the country bring in a law to make it mandatory for religious institutions to construct just one room for the homeless on their premises. The task is not big. With the amount of temples, mosques, guruwdaras, churches and other religious institutions in the country the problem of homeless will be resolved forever. I hope that political parties and social activists pick up thi idea and try to turn it into a reality. We often look the other way when we see homeless people on our streets. This idea could help create space for people who really need it. And it is time that religious intitutions are made to do what they preach. They have always claimed to have worked for the poverty stricken. Now make them work for it. Make a law for it. I need someone to take up this cause. It is 100 percent do-able and needs a backing of the political class.
