Dona Paula circle losing its charm

All these years we had a nice circle which we used to call Dona Paula circle although some people preferred to call it NIO circle. A serene oasis in the past, it now has a number of installations and more keep coming up. Already existing in this area are a Police outpost station, a CCP Godown for garbage. There is a shop hiring out vehicles. Even a plant nursery has come up here. Worst of all a section of this circle has been made a bus stand of sorts with 3 buses seen standing at any time. Now, another trouble residents of this area are facing is the destruction of a vacant plot that exists just off the circle and opposite to Nelson bar and restaurant. This plot is being used by some to dump all kind of debris and mud in this plot creating dust pollution. Even worse fires are lit and smoke is causing respiratory issues for  residents nearby.  The residents and the Corporator of this area are watching as this circle is slowly becoming a nightmare.
