Duliajan in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Duliajan plotted against Assam and India. The SNDi of new construction in Duliajan rose steadily, compared to Assam which rose steadily and India which followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase. Most recently, Duliajan's incremental SNDi rose from 5.85 to 6.57 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020.

What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Duliajan built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Abu Jibeha built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Khaga built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Duliajan became progressively more disconnected, while Abu Jibeha became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards and Khaga grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Duliajan and Khaga have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
