It was developed as a planned community and its plots were leased for residents in 1990.[3] All the plots in this sector planned by Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha were transferred to the leaseholders in 1997.[4] As of 2016, it was facing the issue of shortage of water supply to its residences.[5] Most of its streets are in a state of disrepair and have become almost unusable.[3] There is a central mosque in the sector which was the reason of a controversy in 2019 after the mosque authority restricted the mosque for children.[6] As of 2022, even though it is a residential community, its plots are used for commercial purposes which is illegal.[4] In 2023, local residents formed a human chain in protest against the attempt to rebuild a newly demolished dumping station in the area.[7]
