The early settlers of Safilguda who came around the 60s-70s had a very tough time since this area was isolated with no means of transport to reach the city and no electricity.

In 70s people had to cycle around 6 km to reach the city unless they were able to get the occasional bus. There were only two or three houses and barren land and rock everywhere. Land cost around Rs5/-per sq ft.

All the amenities of a suburban town — medical, educational, shopping, offices, public transportation — are available. There are medical shops and hospitals that function round the clock. Further, the town is alive and busy even past midnight.
