An old well is situated in the middle of that triangular
 patch of green cover beyond the railway tracks in
Dilkusha, Lucknow. Over the past months this
large plot of land has become a dumping ground
for debris -- concrete slabs, bricks and some
garbage. This plot is also a place where people
from the other sided of the railway tracks come
and defecate. The situation will is being allowed
to worsen to the point when someone in authority
propose the land be handed over for commercial
use/
