In 1965, the land was acquired by Central Government to construct [[Asian Games Village (New Delhi)|Asiad Village]]. Increasingly people from other places in India are moving into the urban village and also foreigners are attracted by the low rents, parking space, lifestyle, monuments and [[green belt]].<br />
