Question
Have you ever read or heard of a city slum being removed? How do you feel about this?
Solution
Yes, I heard in the news the slum being removed from an area of Yamuna River which is located in Delhi. I felt very bad for these people who use to stay in slums without shelter and food. The government should do some arrangements before razing the slum.
