Journalism of Courage
The ward suffers from lack of basic civic amenities including sanitation facilities and roads. There is not much development that has taken place here. No major projects were started here in the past five years. A number of colonies are present in the ward. Some of these were established when people who were present in other parts of the city were settled here. Survey has now been done and some people will be shifted in the houses under the rehabilitation scheme.
Development in the area
Some roads in the ward were recarpetted. Paver blocks were installed on the pavements making space to walk. The foundation stone of the day market was laid recently after being delayed for the past few years. Two community centres have been approved for the ward. While the foundation stone of one was laid,movement on the other is yet to start. A shopping centre will also be coming up here for which around Rs 5 crore has been approved.
Problem Areas
The area is filthy,heaps of garbage are seen lying all over the ward. Cow dung is another problem in the area. With some people keeping cattle there is a lack of cleanliness. After rains,apart from the area becoming slushy,there is a problem of stench.
Encroachments is another major problem of the ward. With there being no check on the settlers in the area,people have illegally occupied government land and built houses. In fact within the colonies,people who get rehabilitated either sell off their illegal hutments or other people construct new ones.
There are no parks or gardens developed in the area. The space earmarked for such facilities is generally occupied by stray cattle.
The schools in the ward are lacking adequate space. These are overflowing with students with their being not enough space for providing them even with proper classrooms or places to sit.
