Inadequate Civic Amenities in Slum Areas
Jodhpur, 28 February, 20–
Like all other slum areas, Jodhpur slums also lack proper civic amenities. These slum dwellers live in very poorly built hutments of mud with roofs of tin or tarpaulin. There is neither arrangement of water supply nor there is any sewage or drainage. There is no arrangement of electricity for light. In these slum areas, there are neither schools for children’s education nor hospitals for the sick. In these slum areas, children grow up in filthy conditions and become victims of various diseases. There are no parks or playgrounds for them to play. These slums abound in filth, there are not even toilets. The people living here live hand in hand with diseases due to the lack of civic amenities.
