Things need improvement

Once a serene and upscale residential area, has become increasingly crowded over the years. The influx of the lawyers setting up offices due to the proximity to major courts has transformed the neighborhood's quiet charm into bustling hub. Traffic congestion and parking issues are now common, detracting from the area's livability. The commercial activity has reduced privacy for residents. While Defence Colony still offers many amenities and remains a prime location, these changes have impacted it's original appeal as a residential enclave.
