Subject: The living conditions in slum areas
Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention to one of the gravest situations these days, the living conditions in slums. The living conditions of the slum areas in metropolitan cities are due to the high density of population. Migration, from villages to cities, can be one of the major causes for this grievance.
Owing to the fact that our villages are running out of job opportunities, village people are compelled to migrate to the cities. But our 'cities' are incapable of giving shelter as well as food to these many migrants. The lack of space, water, food and job gave rise to the slum areas. The houses in these areas are single room tenements with no ventilation. People use common latrines and water taps. Often, they bathe and defecate in open places. They do not have the access to safe drinking water. The lanes are narrow and the sewage water stagnates in open drains, which emit a bad odour. This stagnated water leads to several diseases, which do not get treated by doctors due to lack of money as well as a lack of proper facilities.
I wish to utilise this space to request our Government to take positive steps to improve the living conditions in slums. Moreover, NGOs and street play groups can start a cleanliness and literacy drive in these areas. I hope the concerned authorities will look into this matter. Their efforts would be highly appreciated.
