Ramadharsingh said he needs to study the report. However he said one priority of the Government is to fix the problem of street dwellers.
"We want to make it absolutely clear that intensive and aggressive efforts have been made by the Ministry of the People and Social Development to champion the cause for social inclusion and therefore to do extensive work with NGOs, Local Government and others Ministries to ensure that we house the socially displaced," the minister said.
