SLUMMY CITY

SLUMMY CITY

I saw that few people have grudges on the government's plan to remove the poor hut men’s homes, as read in Times Of India dated January the fourth 2005. There was one letter stating about the utilities of these hut men and thus their need for the city. I would like to mention this that if the government has decided to remove the illegal constructions then they are on right track. City is right now flooded with unemployment, so I don’t think that there is any vacancy for the jobs like sweeping streets, or cleaning drainages etc mentioned by my friend in his letter. Here I would like to emphasize on the point that the illegal constructions are to be removed and not every hut in the city. We all do share a dream to make our city look better, with better infrastructures facilities. But with increasing immigrants there is no space in the city to make the dream come true. So the solution to this would be vertical expansion and for the same we need to relocate the slums sometime or the other. So if the huts are legal they better be untouched or else relocated in order to elevate living space. But illegal constructions ought to be brought down.
