Mysuru: Karnataka State Safai Karmachari Commission Chairman M. Shivanna has asked officials of Karnataka Slum Clearance Board to identify homeless Pourakarmikas and submit a report accompanied by a list of homeless Pourakarmikas. He was addressing a meeting of Pourakarmika leaders, Devaraja Urs Colony residents and officials at Jaladarshini Guest House yesterday.
During the course of the meeting, Pourakarmika leaders demanded houses for Pourakarmikas who could not get houses in the Housing Colony built by the Slum Clearance Board near Mandakalli. Maintaining that hundreds of Pourakarmikas were living in crunched slums of D. Devaraj Urs Colony, they claimed that several representations made to the authorities in this regard have proved futile.
