LANDMARKS:
 TEMPLES AND CHOWKRIS FORMS THE DEFINING PART OF THIS REGION .
 EACH NODES/CHOWKRI ARE MARKED BY THE PRESENCE OF A TEMPLE EITHER
SMALL /LARGE.
 THESE TEMPLES, MARKS THE CULTURAL IDENTITY OF THE REGION.
 SOME OF THE IMPORTANT LAND MARKS FOUND HERE ARE;
 AZAD CHOWK
 SWAMI NARYAN MANDIR

 DEMOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION IS LISTED BELOW. THE
RATE OF INCREASE OF POPULATION IS CALCULATED BY
LINEAR METHOD OF POPULATION PROJECTION
 HENCE, THE EXPECTED POPULATION IN 2031 YEARS
MIGHT CROSS UPTO 1.95 LAKHS.

 HERE WE CAN ALSO SEE THAT AROUND 6% OF
THE LAND IS USED AS MIXED TYPE-
RESIDENTIAL+COMMERCIAL SPACES.
 THE MIXED TYPE IS DONE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IN
G+2 STRUCTURES,THE GROUND FLOOR AREA IS
OCCUPIED BY COMMERCIAL SHOPS/SMALL
