Secunderabad’s 108 Bazaar Basti: Engulfed by Filth and Neglect
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: In the heart of Secunderabad lies 108 Bazaar Basti, a settlement of over 150 families living under steel-sheet roofs in three cramped pockets. Last month, I saw a snake near the toilets and couldn’t sleep for days,” the woman resident told Deccan Chronicle. He added that because the locals from the basti had informed the authorities about not being able to hold water for longer, “we have been giving them a one-hour water connection per three days, compared to 30-min connection in other areas of the Cantonment.” For a settlement located in the middle of a modern city, the conditions in 108 Bazaar are nothing short of appalling. She added that the local MLA Sriganesh Narayanan had recently visited their locality and many promises, “we hope our issues would see the light of day at least now,” she said.
