Kailash Nagar : Residential Area with Industrial Past

Kailash Nagar has emerged as an industrial settlement, with industries acting as nuclei and thus the foci of the area. Kailash being an industrial settlement has a lingering effect of the industries. The informality of the area is adding to the adversities that a pedestrian might face. The unsafe industrial pockets and blunt walls of industrial premises act as repellent for pedestrians. Kailash Nagar displays a varying character, from the industrial pockets to the residential areas, from the formal commercial units to vendors and hawkers, Kailash Nagar perfectly captures the soul of the core city.
