'Eviction of Slum Dwellers: State Govts Have No Exemption from Neo-liberal Agenda'

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), in the 1970s, had initiated the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board (TNSCB) to provide concrete housing for the urban poor in their existing dwellings. However, over the past two decades, many slum-dwellers have been forcefully evicted to the suburbs. The present Stalin-led DMK government has come up with a draft policy concretising such resettlements. Kishore Kumar, a researcher in state informality and peri-urban development, talks about how the state governments and DMK, in particular, have drifted from their stance of in-situ housing for the urban poor.
