Dwarka is a sub city, located in the
South West Delhi district of the National Capital Territory of Delhi,
India. It is named after the legendary Dwaraka Kingdom. It is a short
distance away from Gurgaon which is a major hub for large corporations
in the country and about 10 km away from Indira Gandhi International
Airport. With the opening up of the Airport Express Line, which has been
built and being managed by Reliance Infrastructure Ltd, the travel time
from the Dwarka Sector 21 Metro station to Airport is expected to be
about 3 minutes.
Some parts of modern day Dwarka
historically came under the colony of Pappan Kalan, which are now being
developed under the \'Urban Expansion Projects\' of the Delhi
Development Authority. One of the largest residential areas in Asia, it
is supposed to have a \"Zero Tolerance\" policy towards common misuses
of land and the transgressions of any existing laws and regulations,
such as encroachments, which are frequently thought to be flouted in
other parts of Delhi. It is frequently referred to as the \"Model
Township\" and is thought to be the most organised and cleanest of all
parts of Delhi and nearby townships. Dwarka is a part of the West Delhi
Lok Sabha constituency.
Dwarka has some the widest and most
developed road network for any colony in Delhi and nearby townships.
Dwarka is known for its higher quality and much better maintained
infrastructure like roads etc. which many believe sets it apart from
nearby townships. Prominent attractions include the Radisson Blu Hotel
and National Law University, Delhi.
