The subsequent evictions and forced relocations have destroyed people's lives by removing them from their areas of work, cutting off their social networks and destroying the housing and infrastructure they had built with their life's savings. It is ironic that the courts have not held government bodies accountable for their failure to provide affordable and adequate housing for the poor, even as they have chastised them for slum creation, instead of slum clearance. - Reproduced.  aWomen - India - Delhi  aHousing - India - Delhi  aHousing  aEconomic and Political Weekly  a69735  c69735d69735  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 41, Issue no: 20pAR70191r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
