East Delhi district

East Delhi district spans 64 square kilometers along the Yamuna River, containing three main subdivisions: Gandhi Nagar, Preet Vihar, and Mayur Vihar.

The district emerged from the reorganization of Delhi's administrative structure in 2012, marking a significant change in the territorial management of India's capital.

The population of 1.7 million residents includes a mix of religious groups, with Hinduism at 82 percent, Islam at 10 percent, and Sikhism at 3 percent.

The district headquarters in Preet Vihar coordinates essential services, including waste management, public transportation, and municipal administration for all residential areas.

East Delhi maintains multiple connections to neighboring Uttar Pradesh cities through its position between Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddha Nagar districts.
