The locality lacks safety and security. There are no CCTV cameras installed. There are no police patrolling the area to ensure the safety of the people. There can be crimes often reported. The overpopulation can be very frustrating for many people. It causes heavy traffic jams and high air and noise pollution. There are not enough transport buses available so travelling can be hard at times

Good things here

This is the best place i ever lived in my entire life. All the major, minor amenities are with in our easy reach. Public transportation options are many, with easy access to cabs and autos, and metro stations are very close. Many great housing options are here with best schools, shops with all essential items, and good medical services are available here. Entertainment options like theatres, malls, pubs are available.

Things need improvement

Finding a parking space is quite difficult, and near markets area it's not wise choice to go with private vehicles, due to crowd and lack of parking space. Traffic congestion during peak hours are occasional. High traffic congestion can be a little bit frustration and bothersome. In some areas, street lights need some maintenance. It need more playground for outdoor activities and fun. The area is little expensive and disappointment for those in budget.
