It is reported by a study that 54% of city’s population live in slums! It is shocking but likely to be true. Slum Redevelopment programs never bothered to ensure that the slums are demolished before the dwellers are given possession of the flats. In fact, slums only increase by the day and new slums are cropping up everywhere. The local politicians, municipal corporators / and MLAs are responsible for this miserable sate of affairs. The slum clusters form their vote bank and it is mafia-like money making machinery.
The government should not regularise these slums and existing system of periodic regularization of the slums only support proliferation of the slums. Allotment of flats in Slum Redevelopment Schemes should make sure that the slums in the areas are completely demolished and the area is cleared for development.
