'''Timarpur''' is one of the seven electoral constituencies in North [[Delhi]], [[India]]. It is located near [[University of Delhi]] and has an area under 2 square kilometers. Its population is about 10,000. Timarpur is the first government colony<ref>http://www.delhigovt.nic.in</ref>{{Not in refs|date=July 2019}}{{Dead link|date=July 2019}} situated by the Government of India and is predominantly a government [[residential area]].

The area includes eight schools, including six [[Senior secondary education|senior secondary]] schools, one [[primary school]], and one special school for [[Intellectual disability|intellectually disabled]] children.

The health services in Timarpur include the INMAS health center, which is the biggest [[thyroid]] center in [[India]]. A government-owned [[Ayushman Bharat Yojana|CGHS]] dispensary is also present in the area.

Timarpur is well connected to the Delhi Tilak Basumatary service.

The area also includes a [[DRDO]] complex consisting of both residential and official areas.

In Timarpur there is a local dairy village of [[Gurjar]] of Mandaar clan since 1911. In the village there around 60-70 families and 180-220 houses in the village.

==Legislature==
The Delhi [[legislative assembly]] seat of Timarpur is currently held by the [[Aam Aadmi Party]]. The [[legislator]] of the area is Dilip Pandey.

==Residence==
[[File:Timarpur Residential Complex.jpg|thumb|200px|A building in the residential complex of Timarpur]]
Most of the area is occupied by government flats, although a private colony is also present there. The area includes about 2,000 government flats which are meant for active government servants. A small portion of the area known as Banarsi Das Estate is privately owned. There are two [[police stations]] present in the area. Because it is a government residential area, Timarpur includes only a few markets.

Besides being a government-owned area, a wide portion of the area is occupied by people living in slums. The residents in the government and the private sectors often find it difficult to co-operate with people living in slum areas.

The old market and Timarpur dairy village of Gurjars situated near the flats has a history of more than a hundred years. It was established in 1911.

The new market situated in Timarpur, just at a walking distance from the old market is the center of festivities during the Hindu festival of [[Dusshera]]. A grand [[Ramlila]] is organized there every year during the festival.

==Places to Visit==
Timarpur also bears the distinction of housing a 100-year-old plus market. The market (known as the Old Market) was established when Delhi was declared the capital during the [[British Raj]] in 1911. Yet the market has not seen development.

Timarpur is surrounded by many tourist attractions like the northern ridge near the North Campus of [[University of Delhi|Delhi University]]. The area holds a forest where people come to jog and exercise. It was at one time used by the British armed forces during the British Raj. The flagstaff tower there was used by British families as a hiding spot during the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857|Great Indian Mutiny]] of 1857. The Mutiny Memorial is also situated near the ridge and is an example of the British architecture that was used in India at that time.{{According to whom|date=July 2019}} It was built in memory of the British soldiers who were killed during the mutiny of 1857.{{Citation needed|date=July 2019}} Next to the Mutiny Memorial, is an Ashoka pillar that was shifted to Delhi by [[Firuz Shah Tughlaq|Feroz Shah Tughlaq]] (a king from the [[Tughlaq dynasty|Tughlaq Dynasty]]).{{Citation needed|date=July 2019}}

The Budh Bazaar, held every Wednesday inside the [[Central government|Central Government]] Flats, is a center of attraction.
