It’s also a lucrative business, and controlling that access generates significant income and power. Essentially, it’s a powerful tool for maintaining a grip on the local population and political landscape.

Yeah, Suman Nagar's a labyrinth alright! I've lived near there for years and still get turned around sometimes. Honestly, the best way to navigate those lanes is to just…go with the flow.

You'll find the best food stalls that way, I promise. Don't be afraid to just wander...you never know what you'll find.
