The CDP admits a substantial decline in the quality of life, attributing it to infrastructure deficits and growing number of people living in slums
Infrastructure deficits
Limited hours of water supply Poor condition of transmission
and distribution system Many households without
sanitation Slow average travel speed
(proxy for road efficiency) of 6-8 kms/hour
Drainage capacity limited to carrying about 50% of the potential sewage
Old storm water drainage network which cannot take high rain intensity
Little renewal or replacement of city based infrastructure, resulting in infrastructure aged assets which operate at sub-optimal efficiency
