Question

List the basic amenities which are missing in slum areas

Answer 1

Slums have high rates of diseases and insect infestation as they lack proper garbage disposal units. The drainage is unplanned and very poor. They lack proper drinking water facilities. Even some slums lack electricity connections and the residents spend their entire day fetching and dragging water or sitting in the dark at nights. The construction in slums is often of temporary nature and often it shatters down when the rain lashes. Slums have cramped spaces and are very disorganized. Even animals reside there along with humans so human excreta and animal waste is disposed openly only inviting more diseases.
