Communal unrest
Shalibanda is part of the area surrounding the Old City, which has problems with communal riots, forcing police to impose curfews.[1] In 1992, one community cut off power to Shalibanda in order to disable and ransack the area. Due to this violent memory, and the constant fear of a repeat attack, power cuts are handled as very extreme situations with police enforcing complete shut down of the city.[2]
