The Urban Poor Front (Shahar Garib Morcha) has recently initiated a membership drive aimed at addressing the pressing issues faced by the urban poor and pressuring the government for their resolution. During this campaign, the front has issued a stern warning: if the persistent problems of waterlogging and dilapidated roads in urban areas are not resolved promptly, they will launch a widespread agitation.

Leaders of the front highlighted that waterlogging becomes a severe annual issue during the monsoon season in urban areas, disrupting daily life. Homes and shops suffer significant damage due to water intrusion, and the risk of diseases also escalates. Furthermore, the condition of urban roads has deteriorated to such an extent that commuting has become extremely difficult. Large potholes on roads invite accidents and cause considerable inconvenience for travel.

Throughout the membership drive, front workers are going door-to-door, raising awareness among people about their problems and encouraging them to join the organization. They believe that unless the urban poor unite and raise their voices, their issues will not be taken seriously. The front has urged local administration and the government to pay immediate attention to these basic problems and take concrete steps. They have warned that if their demands are ignored, they will take to the streets for extensive protests. This campaign is an effort to bring urban poor onto a single platform and demonstrate their collective strength to fight for their rights and hope for a better life.
