Slums are congested, vulnerable spaces

Slums in India's metropolitan cities are under the threat of a multitude of disasters like urban floods, fires, malaria and most recently Covid-19. Urban slum dwellers are the most vulnerable physically, socially and economically. As per the 2011 census, 206 towns and cities in Karnataka have slums. It is also reported that 81% of the slum population of India is concentrated in nine states--Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Rajasthan and Gujrat.
