area, including HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, State Bank of India, Dena Bank, Bank of Baroda, Axis Bank, Kalupur Bank, Punjab National Bank, Bank Of India, and most recently the Oriental Bank of Commerce. Drinking water has high total dissolved solids. A 2005 study of 10 residential areas in Ahmedabad city found that Bopal has the highest SC (Specific Conductivity), fluoride content and chloride content in groundwater, making it necessary for most of the dwellers to use reverse osmosis purified water. In early 2019, the government announced a 60 million per day capacity Narmada Canal based water project for the area. Drainage line was a big problem, but now the local authority, AUDA (Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority), has completed drainage facilities and most of the properties in Bopal are now connected with drainage line. Also, the rainwater pipeline has been constructed and the roads were widened by AUDA in Bopal. The main road connecting Ghuma and Bopal with S.P. Ring Road nowadays observes very high traffic during office hours in the morning as well as the evening. AUDA has declared that a flyover will be constructed on S.P. Ring Road at the Bopal Cross Roads. This will surely ease traffic flow at the junction in the coming years. The flyover construction work commenced after a monsoon in 2014 and is currently underway. It is expected in early 2015 that Bopal may emerge as a key residential location due to its proximity to the business districts in Prahladnagar and along the S.G. Highway, and improving physical infrastructure in the region. AUDA has proposed to construct 2,500 homes in the Bopal area by 2016 for people from different income groups as a part of social development initiative The rapid urbanization and growing population have increased criminal activities in Bopal & Ghuma. The Gujarat Police has been inadequate in serving the expanding security needs of these regions and is trying to cope by deploying additional police personnel. AUDA plans to develop a sewage treatment plant around the residential affordable housing (RAH) zone that will supply treated water to Bopal and Ghuma lakes. The development has also led to Bopal Crossroads becoming one of the most polluted areas in Ahmedabad city. South Bopal, popularly known as SoBo, is a newer residential area. In December 2018, the government opened a 6,235 sq. km. park for the residents, featuring special seating arrangements for senior citizens, three gazebos,
