A large number of slums exit in most of the cities of the world. Do you think that it is the responsibility of government agencies to make arrangements for housing migrants that the city based industries and other residents employ? Give reasons?

​h. Government must provide for cheap housing schemes, must ensure basic hygiene in the areas
