Migration
of Population to Metropolitan Cities: Causes and Effects
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.
Better employment and life conditions are the main causes of migration of people from rural areas. All amenities to live a happy and prosperous life are easily available in cities. Hence people are easily attracted to metropolitan cities and towns.
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 uncleanliness 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!
