To help them, the Delhi government launched a custom Google Maps platform where people can find hunger relief centres spread across the city — many of which are schools that have been turned into shelters for the needy.

 According to chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, over 500 such relief camps have been set up to help those without a place to go and no supplies to tide them through the lockdown. Each municipality should, on average, have at least two shelters.

 The relief centers will serve lunch between 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm and dinner between 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm every day. Even though everyone is welcome, social distancing will be strictly followed within the shelters under the watchful eye of a nodal officer appointed by the district magistrate. Since many of the people who really need this service may not necessarily own a phone or be familiar with Google Maps, it’s recommended that you either guide them through the process. How to use Delhi’s Google Map of hunger relief centers Anyone can access the map either from their laptop or mobile phones by clicking on the link shared by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) or navigating through the window above. You can zoom in and zoom out of the map the map to find your locality and the relief centers close by. The blue pins indicated schools that have been turned into shelters and the red pins are the government-owned camps. Clicking on a pin will reveal the address of a particular shelter. Once you’ve selected the relief center, since its a Google Map, you can also click on directions to see the best possible route to reach a particular camp. The entire list of shelters can also be found if you tap on #DelhiHungerReliefCentre on your mobile. Tapping the arrow next to shelter homes and school list will display all the respective options. On the desktop, the tab will already be open on the left.

Custom Google Maps in Delhi lead the way to relief centres with shelter and food

As if Nepal hadn’t suffer enough damage in the <keyword id="6362774" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="earthquake">earthquake</keyword> that rattled the country on April 25, another earthquake has hit the country today. 
 
This time magnitude was 7.4 as per the US Geological Survey. The epicentre was 83 km east of Kathmandu, and the depth measured on the Richter scale is 19km. 
 
Even as the death toll in the earthquake two weeks ago had crossed the 7,000 mark, this is going to be a huge worry for Nepal which is still reeling from the after effects of the devastation caused. 
 
What would be the serious cause of concern this time around would be all the buildings that had been physically rattled by the first earthquake but were still standing. While a lot of Nepal was raised to the ground in the previous earthquake that struck two weeks ago, this would only throw a darker shadow on the relief work that is ongoing as well as the thousands of people stranded out in the open, in overcrowded relief camps. 
 
Today’s earthquake could easily add a few hundreds if not more to the already overflowing relief camp of Nepal, giving the questionable safety point of the building in the country. The 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck the Himalayan country on April 25, killed over 8000 people and injuring 17,800. 
 
The other major cause of concern would be deteriorating health conditions in these relief camps which are already feeling the pressure of having to cater to the thousands already residing over the last two weeks. 
 
Earlier, it was pegged that it will take 2 billion dollars to rebuild Nepal after the first earthquake had struck. Now, this could very well shoot those estimates much higher. 
 
The tremors of the earthquake were also felt in North India including West Bengal and Bihar.
