The recent eviction of slum dwellers from Karail slum without thinking where all these poor people would go and its effect on city dwellers put a big question mark. To rehabilitate them, the government or the NGOs can build one big building in each area with one room for each family. All the residents must have their National ID card in the guard room for security reason and they must pay rents as they did before in the slums. If the government takes this initiative, the poor slum dwellers will be benefited.
