Selected Street:
Sakhi Hassan Street
▫ This area is known particularly
for the politician, Rashid Khan,
who hails from this area and is
popular for his journalistic
contributions. This densely
populated area houses notable
markets nearby such as the
Serena Mobile Market and Haron
Shopping Mall.

▫ Running along the Sakhi Hassan

Graveyard, which was established
in the late 60s, this
(approximately) 2,900 ft long
two-way street suffers from
grave neglect.

Albeit being a two way road, only a single side is
usable due one side being completely thrashed (left).
This causes most people to use the wrong side for
both ways i.e the right side in the picture below.

Trash dumping is common
in the drainage ditches,
which are left completely
open, causing a foul odour to
spread
There are no footpaths acting
as a boundary to the roads,
and trash is littered along the
center drainage, and gutter
eruptions are common
There is also no boundary
around the drainage canals,
making it unsafe to walk
along
4
Other problems include
▫ Exposed hanging
electrical wires,
hazardous during rains
▫ Trash burning,
hazardous for
surrounding people who
may have lung problems
