Ans:-The living conditions in Kankerbagh, Slum colony in Patna are really pathetic. The whole area has grown into one large garbage dump. Heaps of dirt and piles of dung and garbage greet you in every street and open space. The whole colony has been polluted with these things. The open uncovered drains, pits and holes carrying foul water make the roads stink with a foul smell. Air is also polluted, water is polluted, soil is polluted, everything has become raubbish. The overflow of used water and its contact with dung and garbage further deteriorates the whole situation. Garbage sinks and emits a foul smell. Mosquitoes breed in the pits and pools of poluted water and flies buzz over them. Stray dogs make merry on the heaps of garbage Pigs wallow in the mud near the open drains.
The whole slum area has been polluted. Living condition in this slum me settlement are appalling ( भयानक).
