Answer 2

Government's responsibility

Explanation:

I agree that the Government is responsible for providing housing facilities to the poor. Displacement becomes necessary for the development of the cities. But displacement must be countered by proper rehabilitation. When you clear the slums, it dislocates the poor. They are subjugated to insecurity and injustice. The government should develop welfare mechanisms for the affected poor as they are severely affected by the proposed changes. Government is responsible for all the people of the country. So when they take up development projects to facilitate the urban people, they should also provide housing facilities for these less privileged people who are dislocated.
