Slums in Delhi

The present population of Delhi is about 13.9 million. Of this nearly 45% population lives in unauthorised colonies, rural villages and slums and JJ clusters. The current number of slum dwelling units is estimated at about 0.6 million and the population living in slums and Yamuna clusters is projected at about 3 million.
Out of the 0.6 million JJ units, nearly 62,000 units are estimated to be located in the river bed of Yamuna on both sides of its stretch along Delhi and on the embankments of a few major storm water drains such as Najafgarh drain, Barapulla drain etc. During dry weather these slum dwellers use open areas around their units for defecation. In this way, the entire human waste generated from these 62,000 units along with the additional wastewater generated from their household is discharged untreated into the river Yamuna. Safe drinking water has become a serious challenge for city dwellers. A large number of inhabitants living in slums, unauthorized colonies, and squatters depend on shallow hand-pump water, which in most cases, is contaminated. According to the NICD (National Institute of Communicable Diseases), about 50% of water supplied in 929 JJ clusters in Delhi was not potable. Besides, an acute shortage of 150 million gallons of water per day results in unequal distribution of this precious commodity between posh colonies and slums.
