Shree Mahavir Courier Branches in West Delhi

About West Delhi — A Brief History

West Delhi sits between Central Delhi and the Najafgarh drain, covering the old Punjabi-refugee belt that grew up after the Partition of 1947 brought millions of Hindu and Sikh families across the new border. Neighbourhoods like Rajouri Garden, Janakpuri, Tilak Nagar, Hari Nagar, Punjabi Bagh and Subhash Nagar were almost entirely built in the late 1940s and 1950s to settle these families, and the district's distinct Punjabi feel the food, the wedding-shopping streets, the sweet-shops and the strong gurdwara presence comes directly from that history.

The district has a few older landmarks. The Hanuman Mandir at Karol Bagh (technically on the eastern boundary), the Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Sahib (just south of the district), the Mughal-era Roshanara Bagh tombs and the Mahavir Jayanti Park give the area some heritage stops. The Mughal-era hunting lodge at Jahanpanah forest, on the southern edge, is one of the few places in West Delhi where you can still find the early Sultanate stonework in semi-wild surroundings.

Today West Delhi is famous across the country for its wedding-shopping streets Rajouri Garden, Tagore Garden, Tilak Nagar and Karol Bagh together draw lakhs of shoppers from Delhi-NCR and as far as Punjab and Haryana every wedding season. The district also has the Delhi Haat at Janakpuri, several large wholesale markets and the Pacific and West Gate malls. Shree Mahavir Courier's West Delhi branches handle a heavy daily flow of wedding-shopping dispatch, wholesale-market trade papers, e-commerce returns and family parcels for the area and the smaller settlements like Rajouri Garden, Janakpuri, Tilak Nagar, Punjabi Bagh and Subhash Nagar every working day.
