STREET AFFECTED BY HEAVY RAINS
STRENGTH •Drainage system was well planned with proper manholes placed at equal distances and the drainage collection was well maintained. •Street lights were placed in equal distances and there was no frequent power cuts. • The roads were laid properly without any potholes. WEAKNESS • There was no proper rain water harvesting system in internal roads, gutters were present only on major roads. • Since there was no proper storm water drain, during heavy floods the roads were not in usable conditions and they migrate. • Slum settlements causes major problems . • Water scarcity.

THREAT • Street dwellers as a defensible space. • Less movement of public in some internal streets acts as a defensible spaces. • Heavy floods. • Narrow internal roads. • Thief activities.
