NDMC to Certify Jor Bagh as Anupam Colony, Not Rename It

The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) plans to certify Jor Bagh as an "Anupam Colony," a sustainability certification for model colonies achieving zero-waste and self-sustainable living standards. While an NDMC invitation mentioned a declaration event, some interpreted it as renaming the colony. NDMC clarified that Jor Bagh's official name remains unchanged. The event on May 17, 2026, will include the certification announcement and a tree-planting drive under the "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam" campaign.
