## Development

Electricity is available in all almost houses there. There is, however, no gas facility yet.

Ghreeb shah Mosque (Masjid) is the only Mosque (Masjid) for Jummah and Eid prayers. Every year this area becomes the victim of flooding. Every year flood wreaks havoc due to a week dam which breaks down every year, causing a lot of damage and destruction. The government has tried to manage the problem, but proper arrangements to save the area have yet to be taken. In 2014, the government distributed approximately 1.5 lakh to every victim's family. There is no agricultural machinery and the people of this area still use traditional methods; agriculture is the primary source of their income.
