- A little off the western corridor of the Outer Ring Road (ORR), which runs along the perimeter of Bengaluru, less than a kilometre away from Laggere bridge, stand hundreds of identical buildings along kachcha roads in stark contrast to the other sights along the arterial road. In these buildings, commonly called “slum quarters”, live thousands of people who were previously staying in small sheds or tents.
The Karnataka Slum Development Board (KSDB) has built over 16,000 houses on an expanse of 60 acres in this area. These housing units, each measuring roughly 300 sq. ft, are occupied by a variety of people such as construction labourers, domestic workers, garments unit workers, drivers, teachers, and their families. The average income of these families ranges between ₹10,000 and ₹15,000 a month.
There are three floors above the ground floor in every building and each floor has four houses. Although these buildings were handed over to the dwellers a little over a decade ago, they appear significantly older. In many houses, the concrete has chipped away so much that the steel reinforcement of the pillars is visible. One cannot ignore the stench, the buzz of insects, and the sight and smell of sewage flowing along these quarters.
Residents spoke to The Hindu on the shabby conditions they are forced to live in, their struggle to get the possession certificates, transport and sewage woes, and more.

It's honesty not that bad. I have seen places much worse than these slums. People in my colony have much worse looking houses and space 😅
Good coverage! Keep it up 🤘
The facilities seem to be decent to be honest.
Would that include the roads and poor sanitation?? 😳
Ofcourse no he is talking about housing facilities is descent not good enough to say sub urban and not too bad to be said slum it's just rural area @@SenorSol
@@Leo-jh8gf I suppose that depends on one's definition of 'decent'. I've visited slums in Bangalore, they're definitely not 'decent'.
Bengaluru has Church Street and Laggere, two ways of maintaining roads
A caring and responsible reporting ❤
India 'shining'. Again. 🙄
Nice explation
Ma'am you are doing well please keep it up. I request you do Expose like many more like this and at the same time govt officials inform them and grab them to this problems. And expose the govt, mla, govt officials.
❤❤
What is government doing? 😢its very sad to see such conditions due to corruption even after indias growing economy. Poverty is the main problem that government must consider first like china did in 90s.
karnataka politicians and government officials are the worst corrupted idiootss!!!
Why is it the government's responsibility to take care of slums ? Can a middle class person get free land like a slum? Slums are basically free land and water
God
