SIKANDERPUR PAHADI This informal settlement is described as a “village” in comparison to the bustling Sikanderpur Basti. Local residents have blocked the most direct road to Sikanderpur Pahadi. Now, in order to reach work, school, medical facilities and other civic amenities, workers and their families must choose between a circuitous route or a more direct but dangerous walk where there are robberies in broad daylight and women fear sexual assault.
