Hello Everyone, Namaste 🙏☺️
How are you doing? I live in the capital of India i.e New Delhi. Delhi has always been a prominent and famous cities in India. It's has been the centre for attraction since Mughal Era in India. Delhi has population density as high as over 18k person per thousand kilometres which is one of the highest in world. The reason being the extreme migration of people form rural areas and also from different states of the Country. Delhi is also inhabited by foreigners who are residing here in the country. Being the hub of Nation's Heart, Delhi attracts croud. People come here for Job, Business, Studies and also to fullfill their dreams. The real estate prices in the city capital is already touched skies and there is so much scarcity of land here. The overpopulation on new Delhi results in traffic jams, congestion in streets, markets and public places. Overall Delhi has become too congested lately. The public transportation is already overloaded here, although Delhi Metro is providing the best possible services however during peak hours, traveling in the metro 🚇 is also no less than a challenge, reason being high number of passengers.
Delhi being the powerhouse of the country, is endowed with all the best services, technology hubs, some of the biggest markets of world. However Delhi has also been the pollution capital of the country from past few decades. Pollution here has become a major cause of concern. Earlier there used be a lot of heavy industries in the main capital but seeing the congestion and pollution here, these industries are shifted to outskirts of Delhi. But this didn't improved the situation of pollution here. Winters in delhi are a troublesome affair. In winters the pollution is in the form of smog i.e smock filled with fog. The situation results in smoggy days, making it tough to breath and also giving major health issues to people especially older age group. It's sad to see how the pollution problem of national capital is overlooked by authorities. Because this problem will only become serious day by day and soon we will see major health haphazard due to pollution.
Then Delhi is also the crime Capital of India. Delhi is also notorious for extreme road rage incidents. I had myself witnessed many such incidents. The reason behind this there is already too much congestion in the city then too people here prefer traveling in their personal vehicles. The no of personal vehicles in Delhi is way too high. Due to which people bound to struck in traffic for longer hours. And these tiring and noisy traffic jams makes people furious, irritated and discontented. Sometimes people just fight on roads without any reasons 😆. The crime rate in Delhi is also high. Although Delhi has its own police force directly under the control of central government. Delhi police is doing its best to keep the city safe but it's also short on workforce. Since it's easy to control the jurisdiction of such a big city as the New Delhi.
Life in this city is not easy, not especially for a outsider. However there is a common saying here that 'Delhi is for magnanimous'. People come here to fulfill their dreams, some out for necessity and then eventually becomes a delhite lifelong.
