West Delhi district

West Delhi is an administrative district in New Delhi with three subdivisions: Patel Nagar, Rajouri Garden, and Punjabi Bagh. The district is predominantly urban and houses millions of residents across its neighborhoods.

The district was created when Delhi underwent administrative reorganization in the 1950s, gaining new governmental structure. This reshaping gave the region more independence in managing local affairs.

The district is shaped by people from many parts of India who have built their homes and communities here over the decades. This diversity shows in the neighborhoods, where different languages and traditions create a mixed local character.

The district is managed by a district administration that coordinates with city authorities for public services. Visitors will find various facilities and services scattered across the three subdivisions to support daily life.

The district is nearly entirely developed as urban area, making it a typical example of modern city expansion in Delhi. Very little open land or village settlements remain in this densely built environment.
