"Right to adequate living standards" is given to each citizen of India. Unhygienic surroundings are like an open door for diseases. These slums are not only congested, but also have open sewers.Some of the worst slums in the world are found in Indian cities. Decent housing is a basic human need and a basic human right. There are such poor conditions faced by these people everyday. Even water, electricity, and drainage facilities are lacking. People face many problems. Slums and squatter settlements are the clear indication of the failure of government and society to provide adequate habitat for human development.The conditions of the slum areas in metropolitan cities have deteriorated to such an extent due to the high density of population that the people there hardly enjoy even the basic amenities. The lanes are very narrow and have so many holes in them. they are thick clusters of small, dilapidated mud huts, the roofs and ceilings of which are made of scraps of wood, gunny sacks, metal or some sort of waste material. Sometimes, 10 to 12 people live, eat and sleep in the same room. The quality of life lived by these people is very poor.

This is a matter of grave concern. This is a big problem which warrants immediate action.

Cooperation from everyone will be appreciated.
