Ones again bureaucracy has shown rude to poor slums. Slum in lucknow in gomtinagar surviving since fifteen years in a land when it was far from amenities of city, which is now attracting to everyone because of its surrounding is now in the ambit of posh city. The land which can be converted in any government department or trade office or business yundertaking.
It was the shocking and almost thundering day for them when bureaucracy has come with bulldozers’, police and officials gathered them to smash their livelihoods. Poor slum not knowing their rights, illiterate & managing their food every day earning. Slum is divided into two parts; one is of Muslims community and another of Hindu community.
They are earning their hard income from the works of handicraft like stone & traditional cultural products ( dholakh aur sill ka kam). The work which is now shrinking day by day and replace by innovative products available in every corner of market. When often we are visiting, they are coming in crowed and asking for work to us, high and middle class people want to make distance from them, hesitate to talk them and not require any relationship. We are like embassy, they thinking. Anyhow of our best some of them we provide two three day work. Every night before going for sleep they pray for next morning not to face with government bulldozers. It is not only them to lost their land but also vanish from the city and means of earning.
It is not only immoral but impels them to crime. Unemployment, homeless, illiteracy and unfavorable government are the main cause for spreading crime in society. Who birth naksalwad & mauwad. First we are making them and then facing them.
First Government not developed the land and then they are taking its fruit. Where was bureau before fifteen years, why they not stop them then? This time they are very clever to have land without any compensation etc., they not want to expose the issue, bureau has prepared well this time. And we are sure they takeover land because this is also the same situation when they can easily face illiterate & poor slum. And ultimately society will face looming threat of crime.
Save poor, save crime.
Youth Initiative-India
beside sneaking out unemployment and poverty the govt is boosting them. on one hand they have many law and policy for BPL people and on other hand they have buidogers to spoil the houses of BPL people. They are not playing the give and take but playing only give and give (vote, land etc).
