Safety

Around 2012, gates were installed in the busier streets so as to prevent unwanted traffic from the Pusta side. Security guards were also appointed. This not only led to an increase in traffic but also an increased crime rate involving crimes such as snatching of chains. On 10December 2014 two men/boys snatched a gold chain from a girl by showing her a gun.
