Dwarka - A Sub city

Dwarka - Now known as the largest sub-city of Asia has blossomed from a desolate and uninhabited locality into a world class habitat in just no time. There were days when the roads - sans street lights and signals - were filled with heaps of mud and dust covered buses. This barren land, developed in less than six years, has become the largest sub-city of Asia. Even basic necessities like grocery, water and electricity used to be a problem. People were not only hesitant coming to Dwarka but also stayed away from exploring this unknown piece of land on earth. Dwarka has become the envy of people living in the so-called posh locality areas like Greater Kailash or Kalkaji who once believed that Dwarka is a godforsaken place.

With the flyover connecting the airport and the Delhi metro connecting CP, traveling has become much more comfortable for the masses, as the railway crossing located below the flyover was indeed a nightmare for people going to college or office. The sector 6 market developed gradually; and the place which did not have much of a crowd a few years ago is now a bustling market, throbbing with activity - so much so that finding a slot to park your car has become a difficult proposition. For the young and the vibrant crowd of Dwarka there came the Pizza Hut, Costa Coffee and Bercos ending uncomfortable travel to long distances for that steamy cup of Cappuccino or a spicy veggie’s delight. The sky rocketing land rates will indisputably make this one of the most expensive places in Delhi. It seems that Dwarka has been touched by a fairy’s magic wand and has turned into a paradise. If the development continues this way, Dwarka will very soon be in the list of avant-garde places of the country.

It is the responsibility of all of us, who have made Dwarka our home, to ensure that our sub-city is maintained in the way the planners had conceived it to be - an ultra-modern, futuristic living complex. We need to take care that Dwarka does not degenerate like so many other places which are languishing due to lack of maintenance and public apathy.
