The homeless people were given plots of land by state government in neighbouring areas including Buchpora and Soura.[4] Thus government housing colonies were constructed in these areas. there are many areas adjacent to this area, Illahi bagh, Rang pora, Umerhaira, are some of them. The area was an agriculture land but has been converted into a residential area.
