Covid-19 a wake-up call, says Ratan Tata in outreach to slum dwellers

Tata said while slums are blamed as the cause of current problem, slum-dwellers are not being properly taken care of

The outbreak of Covid-19 is a wake-up call about “what we are doing and what we are not concerned about”, said Ratan Tata (pictured), chairman of Tata Trusts, at a webinar on Monday.
 

Tata said while slums are blamed as the cause of the problems, slum-dwellers are not properly taken care of.
 

“High-value homes are designed and built on slum lands and slums are given residue. Slum dwellers are rehabilitated in far way places and they are separated from their work places,” Tata said at a webinar on future of design and construction organised by CorpGini, a global innovation firm.
