@HydSpeaks@dmuthuk When basic civic conditions—clean air, safe water, proper roads, drainage, street lighting, and transport—are all compromised, it’s hard to justify spending crores on flats in such an environment.
If urban planning doesn’t improve, the future will be even worse
@DeccanArchive Similarly
Barkas in comes from “Barracks” (buildings where soldiers stay).
It was a settlement for Arab soldiers from Yemen serving the Nizam.
Over time, “Barracks” became “Barkas.”
@DeccanArchive Koranti Bus Stop (Fever Hospital stop) gets its name from “Quarantine.”
Long ago, this hospital isolated contagious patients like the plague, as it was outside city limits.
Locals began saying “Koranti” instead of “Quarantine,” and the name stuck.
