Introduction
District – East Delhi
Delhi is prominently divided by the Yamuna River that separates the
eastern part and western part of the city and hence the area that falls
under the eastern portion is known as the ‘East Delhi’ Region that is
also popularly known as the Trans Yamuna area. This region shares its
border with Uttar Pradesh comprising of Noida and Ghaziabad.
East Delhi has seen recent changes that have overtaken the previously
old and packed residential colonies situated along narrow lanes. The
State Government made consistent effort to redo the roads and
establish well maintained commercial and residential areas in this
region and today, one can definitely see the evident transformation.
Today, the East Delhi Region homes one of the best plush colonies and
commercial area in the City. It houses world class and comfortable stay
with upscale and multi-cuisine restaurants, multiplexes and shopping
malls unlike its bygone years and is continuously and steadily growing
to become one of the sought after area in Delhi and hence becoming of
great significance to the growing tourism industry of this Capital City.

The member of parliament of east delhi is Shri Gautam Gambhir. The

constituency I live is vishwas nagar and the MLA of here is Om Prakash
Sharma.They both belong to BJP part.
East Delhi District has its share of historical moments that date back to
the time when people used to live on one side of the Yamuna River as
they feared pirates and invaders owning to which Delhi prevailed on
the west banks of the river. However, between 1980 and 1990, this area
saw an influx of population leading to the construction of a bridge
connecting the east and the west of the river named ‘Tans Yamuna’ and
was geographically christened as ‘East Delhi’. Hence, this district is
bounded on the east by the Yamuna River and by the other districts on
the remaining surrounding boundaries.
East Delhi is highly populated with over 14.8 lakhs inhabitants of
diverse backgrounds and an area spanning over 64 Sq. Km. The area is
well connected to other parts of Delhi and neighbouring states and is
generally one of the most crowded and busiest places in Delhi prone to
major traffic congestions causing jams and blocks for hours. However,
with the advent of Delhi Metro, this has greatly reduced the traffic
concerns and has eased the rush around this district.
Current Development Projects
a) The city's first integrated transit-oriented development (TOD) hub at
Karkardooma will have its economically weaker section housing component
ready by Feb 28. This comprises 498 flats plus 22 floors with basement
parking.
b) TOI saw finishing work, such as installation of lifts, laying of cables and
tiling of common areas, under way in the complex on a visit.
c) "The construction work of flats has finished and we are busy with the
external development of the complex," said an official of the National
Buildings Construction Corporation. "We are working on an approach road
to theEWS tower, while sewer connectivity will be provided soon. DDA is
getting the power supply done through BSES Yamuna Private Limited."
NBCC is the implementing agency for the project.
From February end, DDA will publicise the project before initiating the
allotment process for the general public.
d) Lieutenant governor VK Saxena recently reviewed the progress of the
project. "The Karkardooma ToD project has the potential of not only
changing the skyline of east Delhi, but also bringing about unprecedented
socioeconomic changes in the area. The hub aims at seamless interplay of
residential and commercial development in an extremely inclusive manner
with EWS provisioning," said Saxena. After a meeting with DDA officials
in Feb last year, the LG said that effort would be made to complete phase I
of the project by March this year. An official explained, "Work kept getting
interrupted by regular bans on construction, Covid pandemic and restrictions
on working hours due to the extreme cold weather."
e) Besides the EWS tower, there is the Residential Trapezium (RH) complex
with 450 2BHK flats on 47 floors with two basements. Around 23% of the
work is finished. At the RHO2 complex of smaller houses, there are six
towers with 10 floors each and three with 33 floors, for an overall 5762BHK
flats. "Here, 35% of the work is completed and we are targeting March next
year to finish everything," said an official. The basement parking will have
space for around 1,540 cars in phase I, under which DDA hopes to have
1,524 flats ready by March 2025. Overall, the ToD will have 6,518
residential flats, including 1,992 EWS residences. The cost of the entire
project is Rs1,168.5 crore.
f) Commuting will be easy because of the connection to Karkardooma metro
station, which has an interchange facility between the Blue Line (Vaishali to
Dwarka) and Pink line (Shiv Vihar to Majlis Park).
g) A highlight of the project is the 30% green space with provisions for a
cricket or multipurpose field, open gym and an exclusive open area for
residents. The buildings are green, having been built with precast autoclaved
aerated concrete blocks instead of clay bricks. "To ensure zero wastage of
water, a dual flushing system and the sewer treatment plant with a capacity
to handle 6 million lites per day is being installed. There is rainwater
harvesting and solar energy will be tapped.
