The locality served by the Faiz Ahmed Road, or F.A. road, serves as the main road and the KRC road. There are several other arterial roads also. The drainage system consists mostly of the modern drainage system, which was rebuilt recently.[4] An old stream parallel to the F.A. road existed about 40 years ago but has now been mostly filled up by land filling.
