The area is often crowded and chaotic. It's a developing zone but there is a shortage of water during peak hours. Lack of quality parks and playgrounds is a drawback. The municipal water supply is unreliable, and it's advisable to have a water tank at home. The construction works are plenty in this area so pollution is significantly high, dust and noise. Heavy traffic during office hours and parking is a challenge too.

There is no high end top dining options and no well known jewellery stores in the vicinity. The primary route for buses and autos is too narrow due to current traffic situation. The traffic police forces not fully acute to handle the traffic efficiently. This is not a quarter place , if you are looking for a less crowded living environment this might not be ideal place for you.

I have noticed some issues, including overcrowding and a lack of parking spaces. Frequent power cuts and electricity issues can be frustrating, and there aren’t enough streetlights, which makes it unsafe at night. Traffic congestion and parking problems are common, and waterlogging during the monsoon season is a concern. Additionally, there are waste management and cleanliness issues that need to be addressed.

The air can get pretty dirty and dusty, especially with all the construction going on nearby. Traffic can be a real headache, particularly during rush hours, and it often takes longer to reach destination. The drainage system isn't the best, so when it rains, water tends to collect, making it hard to walk around. Plus it's usually crowded, which can make it feel cramped and noisy at times.

Parking can be difficult, especially near markets and malls due to crowd, better to use public transport options, and the narrow road make driving tricky.

Property price in the area have risen significantly, making it challenging to afford a home here. Additionally, certain spots particularly near the Tolly Canal these mosquito problems. Parking spaces is also limited, causing inconvenience to park our vehicles. Traffic jams are only in rush hours. The absence of a well-equipped hospital nearby means that we need to travel further for better healthcare services.

During busy hours, car horns can be quite disturbing. The roads could be cleaner, as construction materials are often left on the roadside. Additionally, the footpaths are frequently occupied by small roadside shops, making it difficult for pedestrians to navigate.

This area faces some challenges too. There are no nearby hospitals, only small clinics, and the drainage system is poor. Traffic congestion near Bypass Road is high on peak hours, causing delay. Parking is limited specially near markets and malls, better to use public transport. Roads can be dusty, with garbage accumulation in some spots, leading to unpleasant smells. The local roads are narrow, making it tricky for vehicles to pass each other. Water facilities has been improve than before.
