Shree Mahavir Courier Branches in East Delhi

About East Delhi — A Brief History

East Delhi sits across the Yamuna river from the rest of the National Capital Territory, on the eastern bank where the river slows down before turning south. The district covers the Trans-Yamuna belt neighbourhoods like Shahdara, Krishna Nagar, Preet Vihar, Mayur Vihar and Patparganj that grew up rapidly after the construction of the ITO Bridge in the 1960s and the Old Yamuna Bridge much earlier. The settlement of Shahdara is older than the wider colonial city: Mughal-era records mention it as a market town and post on the Delhi-to-Lucknow road, and the original Shahdara railway station from 1894 still stands.

The district holds two of Delhi's most-visited modern landmarks. The Akshardham Temple complex, built by the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Sanstha in 2005 on a hundred-acre site beside the Yamuna, is the largest Hindu temple complex in the world by area and draws up to seventy thousand visitors a day during peak season. The Commonwealth Games Village, built nearby for the 2010 Games, gave the district a new wave of upscale residential extensions.

East Delhi's older quarters around Geeta Colony, Krishna Nagar and Laxmi Nagar are some of the most densely populated residential neighbourhoods in India, and the Lakshmi Nagar area is famous across the country as a coaching hub for chartered accountancy and company secretary exams. Shree Mahavir Courier's East Delhi branches handle a heavy daily flow of coaching-class admit-card and study-material dispatch, business documents, condo deliveries and family parcels for the area and the smaller settlements like Shahdara, Vivek Vihar, Anand Vihar and Mayur Vihar every working day.
