There are some negative points-
# Encroachments everywhere.
# Unsystematic traffic.
# Lack of parking everywhere.
safest place my foot…. it seems reported crimes are less as police don’t lodge FIR… one person is beaten so badly that he losses one eye while saving a rape of a girl during day time in the heart of the city…. suspects are still at large…
what about Ganghinagar….Sorry but Udaipur is not on 4 position ..Open your eyes properly and look around you..then write all these type of articles..Nonsence
sorry to say, but why are you getting so furious about this ? we haven’t published a “story” it’s the result of a survey. So, kindly take care of the words you use.
Thanks!
I think the comment of Atikul came out just by reading the news title.
How stupid and un-credible can the poll get if the databank it used were from a site which deals in real estate and would definitely want to influence the results. And while I love Udaipur, I personally feel that a blog of this caliber should really consider the credibility of such surveys before posting the results.
Its a good news. We should be encouraged now and do better to make it safer. As it is always a scope for it…
Remember, its the public, not the police that makes a place safer…
Irrespective of any survey or public views, I personally feel Udaipur to be definitely a safer city in comparison to others. Crime is unavoidable in human civic, but it’s extent is the measure to be safer. I have been brought up in Udaipur, and I do not remember a single incident when I had fear while stepping out from my home. I have been to many cities, and really people (who got scared by few incidents), Udaipur is far far better!!!

No doubt peace is there, despite of that there are so many negative points, some I mention in my comment that we should not ignore.
