Kamla Nagar Slum

The body of an 8-year-old girl, who was allegedly raped, was found near a drain in Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal today. The girl, who lived with her family in a slum, was missing since last evening, after she had gone out to a shop.

Nearly 50 per cent of Mumbai's population lives on eight per cent of its land - such is the story of the city's slum dwellers. Garbage disposal, drainage systems, health and hygiene in these slums is almost non-existent with Maharashtra Nagar and Kamla Nagar being stark examples of the harsh reality.
