The Old Madras Road has its fair share of problems that majorly affect its functioning. Issues pertaining to traffic are suffered at the narrow bottleneck parts of this corridor. The maintenance of roads has become lax with unattended open potholes, dug up roads, and the dumping of excess mud and wastes along this road. The region also faces lack of good quality schools and colleges. The nearest reputed schools and colleges are in Indira Nagar and Whitefield.
