Dabua

Dabua Colony (डबुआ कालोनी) is one of the oldest colonies of Faridabad, Haryana, India.

A wide variety of people from different states live in Dabua. The surrounding areas like Jawahar colony and Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Nagar are growing. Almost 10% of Dabua is in the shadow of an Air Force Station, which is adjacent to the residential area. The people of this area are often scared about the interruption of the Defence in order to take the 900 mts beyond their boundary.

The biggest food, grain, vegetable and fruit market of Faridabad is situated in Dabua Colony. There is separate place for food and grains, vegetables, and for fruit market. But due to carelessness of administration the area of the fruit market has been used as a public toilet by locals. Fruit market is there but on the main entrance of the Mandi Area. It covers most of the road. Sidewalks are used by the roadside shops, food vendors, roadside food stalls and roadside vendors. The entry road to Dabua from New Sabji Mandi is about 60–70 ft (18–21 m) wide. But the path reduces to 10–15 ft (3.0–4.6 m) in the peak time.

The area is well connected to the bus stand, railway station and other major public places.

Schools in the Colony include "A.D. Senior Secondary School", English & Hindi medium, "Kurukshetra Senior Secondary School", and the English & Hindi medium.

Oldest and famous shops are J.K watch, Gulshan, Shamsher Halwayi etc.
