Dr.Manmohan Kaur has been residing in Vikaspuri since 1981. After more than three decades of association, Kaur has developed an affinity with the colony. But there are other reasons why she loves the area, like good facilities and a friendly neighbourhood.
The Best thing about this area,according to Man Mohan Kaur,is the ample green space and large parks.
“In the early 1980s the colony was a quite place with very few vehicles on the roads. Gradually the colony got busy and the amenities improved,“ says she.
Man Mohan Kaur is the principal of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Khalsa College, Dev Nagar, and her husband, BS Katyal, is a doctor who practises in Vikaspuri. She feels that the approach to her colony has improved over the years and the recent government plan of constructing more flyovers on Outer Ring Road will only improve things further.
The best thing about this area, according to Kaur, is the ample green space and huge parks. She loves going for morning or evening walks in these parks. “There are also enough markets where we get everything that we need.
Besides, there are big markets nearby such as Rajouri Garden main market, Janakpuri District Centre and Jwalaheri market,“ says she. Kaur loves the numerous eating out options in and around the colony.
Another plus that she talks about are the good medical facilities. But she surely wants some things to improve. The narrow internal roads are a problem so proper planning is needed. But she avers that a close-knit bond that the people in the area share more than makes up for the issues that they find challenging.
“A friendly outlook that people have here is the most valuable thing about the area. People here are not stiff and obsessed about their privacy, like in south Delhi. They have a fellow feeling and have a good community life."
