Slum clearance

On my way to work saw this small slum area being demolished. The people living there were told that morning that their homes were going to be demolished at midday.



Later that day most of the materials were being salvaged by anyone with a rickshaw-cart.


A few slums in the Mohakali area seem to have been cleared lately. I'm not sure if it's part of a larger programme of clearances. Either way it doesn't seem to have made local newspapers.
