Heavy rains that lashed the city
over the past one week have left behind a trail of uncleared garbage
bins and waterlogged roads. Conditions are appalling in slum clusters,
particularly on the banks of Drain No 6 where many pockets are
submerged. At least 20,000 persons live in unauthorised slum clusters
and resettlement colonies where planned development has taken the
