More on Chennai Slums: Example of what they are useful for...
About 5.7 lakh people in Chennai with a monthly income of Rs. 2,000 or less will receive free dhotis and saris for Pongal.
This morning newspaper provides an example of what the urban slums are useful for. I wonder how many of this 5.7 lakh are part of the displaced population, quite a few of them seem to have ration cards. Would they still count of as BPL in Chennai metropolis, readily available for such largess by the politicians?
By the way, 5.7 lakh is more than 10% of Chennai population according to the Census of 2001.
