While addressing a large gathering at Dusshera Ground (Faridabad), organised by the Jhuggi Bachao Manch and left front trade unions including the AITUCV, the CITU and the Hind Mazdur Sangh, Former Prime Minister V P Singh and senior left front leaders have warned that if the State Government does not take steps to protect the interests of the residents they would have to resort to agitation. The Former Prime Minister asked the Union Government to formulate a National Policy of Jhuggis and slum clusters. Stating that these slum clusters go hand in hand with urbanisation, he said unless a proper policy was framed, the repression of poor in the garb of anti-encroachment drives would continue.
