Interviewer instructions
The information will relate to the road used by the slum dwellers as main thoroughfare. For a katcha road, code 1 will be recorded and for a pucca road code 2 will be recorded.

A road, made of pucca materials like asphalt, cement, concrete, burnt bricks / tiles, stones, slabs, etc. will be treated as a pucca road. A road not made of pucca material is a katcha road.

If there is more than one road, the one used by most of the households will be considered. If some part of the road used is pucca and the remaining is katcha, then the type of road will be determined by considering major length falling in a particular type.
