One of the most congested wards in the city, G North has earned the reputation of being one of the busiest owing to its well connected network of local trains on the Central and Western lines. Chunks of the ward, such as Dadar and Mahim, serve as a spot for many prominent businesses as well. A majority of the area receives regular water supply.

Yet, the ward is dogged by many problems. Potholes, garbage dumped on the roads and rash bikers make a big chunk of the ward’s woes. Tilak Bridge in Dadar — a focal connecting point in G North — is overrun with homeless families who eat, live and cook on footpaths, leaving pedestrians and commuters minimal space to walk. Roads in some spots remain pothole-ridden, a nuisance that only worsens during the monsoon and causes traffic congestion. Timely garbage collection is done by the BMC, but in some cases, the owners of restaurants and hotels in the area dump garbage right onto the roads.
