Practicing Success
Which of the following statement is incorrect in reference to slums? |
Slums are residential areas of the least choice, dilapidated houses, poor hygienic conditions, poor ventilation, and lack of basic amenities, like drinking water, light and toilet facilities, etc. Most of the slum population works in a good income job in the organised sector. Open defecation, unregulated drainage system and overcrowded narrow street patterns are serious health and socio-environmental hazards in slums. Poverty makes them vulnerable to drug abuse, alcoholism, crime, vandalism, escapism, apathy and ultimately social exclusion. |
