Question

migration of people from villages and towns to cities should be banned. Express your views either for or against this statement.

Answer 1

Migration of people from villages and towns to cities should neither be banned nor condoned. The Government should allow migration of people from villages and towns in controlled manner. There should be proper migration policy and procedure. Migration should not be unplanned and haphazard.

What is happening at present is quite chaotic. Anyone who wishes just migrates to cities. This has caused many problems in the city. Problems such as pollution, begging, squalor, and the general unclenliness and hygiene have been the outcome of unplanned migration.

In metro cities such Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai, Bangalore, etc. the population has reached bursting levels. There is shortage of living space, drinking water, food stuff, etc. extremely poor people who migrate to cities, have made up makeshift colonies at places which should be unoccupied. In the absence of proper amenities, they contribute to increasing squalor in the city. They encroach on public places such as under bridges, along railway tracks or drainage system.

Unplanned migration has put undue pressure on the power grid; as a result there are frequent power-cuts. People, who don’t find employment, get involved in criminal activities also.

The need of the hour is to make a migration policy and implement it strictly. Otherwise our cities will become hell-holes!

Answer 2

I think it is very difficult to justify in favour of this or against it as for development in a country it is very important that citizens have to get well education ,medical facilities so it is well possible in cities while in case all will come in cities then it will cause problems for government as the problems of water. scarcity ,problems of houses and many other like some problems .

I hope helps you
