New Delhi, Nov 1 (PTI) The recent murder of a teenaged Naga girl at Munirka in South Delhi has once again raised concern over the safety of migrant women due to inadequacy of recognised and affordable hostels in the city.

While more and more women are coming to Delhi every year in search of employment, there are only 11 government-recognised working women hostels in the national capital.

"Women who venture out of their native places to fulfill their ambitions require a safe and convenient accommodation, but due to non-availability of such hostels they end up living in dingy rooms in narrow lanes of urban villages like Munirka, Zia Sarai, Vinod Nagar and Mukherjee Nagar," said Juri Boruha, who stays in a rented room at Ber Sarai in South Delhi.
