Summary
Old D.O.H.S is a very well planned and disciplined area, it has a very few problems. One of the major problems is the noise pollution made by construction sites and mostly trains.
The roads remain clean but garbage lying at a few places beside or on the roads is a problem for the pedestrians and also other people who uses the roads.
The security in this particular area is strict; for example, a driver cannot drive at a speed more then 20 km/h, incase he or she does, a guard nearby would stop the vehicle and ask to lower the speed.
