This road passes between Sectors 8, 9, 11, 13 and 12[note 1] and merges with Mirpur Road in the west through Ahmed Sofa Sarani.[6] Its Sector 11 intersection is said to be the gateway to the growing area in the west of Uttara.[7]
Due to illegal encroachment from Sector 11 intersection to rubbish's intersection, the street has become narrow, causing difficulty in movement of vehicles and pedestrians.[8]
In 2019, the Dhaka North City Corporation authority conducted an official eviction drive on the road.[9]
In January 2020, before the mayoral election, Dhaka North's incumbent mayor Atiqul Islam promised to open the street for 3 hours in the morning every Friday for children to play.[10]
