BACK IN THOSE DAYS THE RESIDENTS WERE MAJORLY MIGRANTS WHO MIGRATED TO BHOPAL
IN SEARCH OF BETTER LIVELIHOOD. THE RESIDENTS HERE ARE MAJORLY SELF EMPLOYED,
ENGAGED IN SMALL GENERAL STORES, BUTUCHERS SHOP, VEGETABLE STORES OR RIKSHA
DRIVERS. FALLING IN LIG GROUP, THESE AREAS WITNESS LOW RISE HIGH DENSITY TYPE OF
SETTLEMENT WITH SMALL ROADS/GULLIES NOT MORE THAN 10 -12 FEET WIDE WITH HOUSES
ON BOTH SIDE OF THE ROAD WHICH ARE USUALLY G+1 STRUCTURES MADE WITH BRICK
MASONARY AND RCC. SOME OF THEM ARE PAINTED WHILE SOME ARE LEFT WITH EXPOSED

THE KALIBADI ROAD IN NORTH AND SOUTH RESPECTIVELY. THE SECURITY LINE ROAD RUNS
BETWEEN THE GOVINDPURA AND BHEL PLANT JOINING RAISEN ROAD IN NORTH AT ITI SQUARE
AND KALIBADI ROAD IN SOUTH AT DUSHERA MAIDAN SQUARE.

THE AREA TO THE RIGHT OF SECURITY LINE ROAD WHEN ONE MOVES FROM ITI SQUARE
TOWARDS DUSHERA MAIDAN SQUARE IS GOVIDPURA AND IS MOSTLY RESIDENTIAL. THE
QUARTERS WERE PROPOSED FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF THE BHEL PLANT AND GOVINDPURA
INDUSTRIES. AT PRESENT VERY FEW QUARTERS ARE OCCUPIED REST HAVE BEEN ABANDONED
DUE TO VARIOUS REASONS BY THE EMPLOYEES SUCH AS POOR STRUCTURE QUALITY OF
QUARTERS, LACK OF SPACES IN QUARTERS TO SUFFICE FOR ALL FAMILY MEMBERS EXT. THE

BAGH WHICH HELPS IN MAINTAINING THE WATER LEVEL OF THE ADJOINING AREA. VARIOUS
KINDS OF MIGRATORY BIRDS ALSO VISIT THE ORCHARD DURING THE YEAR. ADJOINING THE
BAAGH IS THE BHEL PLANT. THE SECURITY LINES GOT ITS NAME BECAUSE THE CISF BARRACKS
