Later, many residential buildings, apartments, and independent houses started developing around the BHEL township. With schools, parks, temples, playgrounds, banks, and markets, this has become the perfect spot for families, retired people, and resident employees of BHEL.

Another major problem which many residents have reported is the weak mobile network signals as this is a green-belt area. Also, there is no public transportation to travel within the township area. You will need to catch an auto or use your vehicle.
