Therefore, I feel that the problem of slum in all Mega and the Super Mega Cites, whose names are listed below, is due to improper infrastructure and character infrastructure :

Greater Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmadabad, Pune, Surat, Jaipur, Kanpur, Lucknow, Nagpur, Patna, Indore, Bhopal,

Vadodara, Coimbatore, Agra, Ludhiana, Nasik, Faridabad, Visakhapatnam, Jammu, Kochi, Meerut, Asansol, Sri Nagar, Rajot, Jamshedpur.

Next articles will be on how to solve the problem of these areas

'A Slum Area means any area where dwellings environments are detrimental to safety, health and moral' because of dilapidation, overcrowding, faulty arrangement or design of buildings, narrowness and faulty arrangement of streets, lack of ventilation, light or sanitation facilities, inadequacy of open spaces and community facilities, or any combination of these factors. Any slum area, selected for

rdimprovement under the scheme, should have at least 2/3 of the slum families in the poor and low income groups i.e. income of less than Rs. 250 per month at that time.

Therefore, definition of Slum should be all the areas which do not have proper and tolerable infrastructure.
