Mediocrity of fringes is a very common factor in Indian cities, most of the time in Industrial neighbourhoods. Industrial fringe of Sikandra in Agra is one such neighbourhood struggling with multiple issues such as inefficient solid waste management, inadequate water supply, absence of open public space or what not.
