Community description

Line 85
Immadihalli, once an agricultural area, has rapidly urbanized over the past decade due to the growth of nearby IT parks and the metro line. This shift has triggered frequent land disputes and community violence in recent years. The locality now attracts job seekers from Karnataka and Nepal, many working in housekeeping, security, roadside eateries, and gig-based roles like driving. However, the community struggles with widespread child substance abuse involving alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs, along with high levels of school and college gang violence. Severe water scarcity also affects the area, leaving residents dependent on private suppliers.
