Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
The basket makers depend on the forest for sourcing raw materials. Depletion of forests by big industries makes their life difficult. Due to the reduction in demand for baskets in villages, the basket makers migrate to the urban areas. Because of lack of money, these basket makers stay in slums. The slums are very unhygienic and lack basic amenities like electricity and safe drinking water.

Several poor people in the city work as domestic servants as well as work for the Corporation, keeping the city clean. Yet the slums in which they live are quite filthy. This is because these slums seldom have any water and sanitation facilities. The reason often given by the Municipal Corporation is that the land in which the poor have set up their homes does not belong to them and that slum-dwellers do not pay taxes. However people living in middle class neighbourhoods pay very little in taxes compared to the amount of money the Corporation spends on them in setting up parks, street lighting facilities, regular garbage collection etc. Also as you read in this chapter, the property taxes collected by the Municipality make up only 25-30 per cent of its money. Why do you think it is important that the Corporation should spend more money on slum localities? Why is it important that the Municipal Corporation provide the poor in the city with the same facilities that the rich get?
