A daily wager, Adil came to the night shelter for the homeless at Nizamuddin on Saturday, where CM Sheila Dikshit launched the UIDAI enrollment in Delhi. "Don't lose it.

Three enrollment stations were opened at the Apna Ghar Rainbasera, the launch venue, and homeless people queued up, thinking it will at least protect them from the police. "I don't know what all this paper will bring. But at least it will keep away the police," Adil said.
