उत्तर
It is totally incorrect to put all the blame on slum dwellers. City people also produce a lot of garbage. Many people in middle-class colonies throw garbage on the roads. In order to keep their homes clean, they throw all the waste on the roads.
Slums also develop because of city people. Government constructs new dams, roads, factories, etc. to cater to the needs of city people. As a result, displaced people from villages are forced to leave their places and move to cities. These poor people cannot afford good houses and hence they develop slums.
