During a community walk through Kheel Jasli, Dr. Priya Saklani noticed a section of road that had deteriorated significantly — the edge had broken away, leaving a steep, unprotected drop directly adjacent to the walking path. There were no warning signs, no barriers, and no fencing of any kind. Pedestrians, including children and elderly residents, walked past it daily. Vehicles navigated it with no margin for error.

The risk was real and immediate. A misstep at night, a distracted child, a vehicle sliding in wet conditions — any of these could have led to a serious accident or worse. The local authorities had not acted. No one else was going to.
