Slums demolished every week in India
Slums are demolished nearly every week in India because the land has become too valuable, or the slum has become an eyesore, or when a politician wants to push out opposition voters.
New Delhi, As many as 95 million Indians, or approximately 8 percent of the population, will be living in urban slums in the country by 2012, Housing and Poverty Alleviation Minister Kumari Selja said Thursday.
