planners in the face. All this had led to the unfortunate
impoverishment of the urban habitat so much so that
over 45% of the city is being described sub-standard

It also means that as a result of this unplanned urban
sprawl and haphazard growth, the social infrastructure is
beginning to face grave stress, leading to further lowering
of the civic standards. Imagine the state of transport, Sd/
water supply, disposal of effluent etc. over very long haul.
