Maps
The first map shown locates the study area (Bhausaheb Surve Nagar) in context with other
landmarks in the city.
The neighbourhood lies in the South-western part of the city and has Babasaheb Ambedkar
International airport in its South, Industrial cluster of MIDC (Maharashtra Industrial Development
Corporation) Hingna to its North- east along with the Ordnance Factory.
The inner ring road is adjacent to it on the north, with maximum heavy traffic, with a lot of black
spots and susceptible to accidents often.
Identified Hazards at a distance from the Study Area
While most of the Hazard have been tried and marked on the map, other hazards like Draught,
Heat waves, public disorder, etc cannot be marked on the map.
So, they have been described in the risk register, as explained earlier.
