Description

Definition
If the slum lies wholly within the sample UFS block, the entry here will be the same as the entry in item 7. But if the slum extends beyond the boundaries of the sample UFS block, the approximate area of the whole slum will be greater than the approximate area of the part lying within the sample block. In such a situation, the approximate area of the whole slum will have to be ascertained by the investigator from knowledgeable persons after making a judgement on how far the slum extends outside the sample block.
