      New Delhi

      Follow Following
      -  Followers

      New Delhi, the capital city of India, serves as the seat of the Government of India, housing the President’s Residence (Rashtrapati Bhavan), Parliament House, and the Supreme Court of India. It is part of the larger National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi and is recognized as one of the most significant political, economic, and cultural centers in the country. Located on the western banks of the Yamuna River, New Delhi is characterized by a mix of historic landmarks, governmental institutions, and modern infrastructure.

      The city was officially inaugurated as the capital of British India in 1931, designed by British architects Sir Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker. It is known for its wide avenues, colonial architecture, and landmarks like India Gate, Connaught Place, Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Lotus Temple, and the Akshardham Temple. New Delhi is also a hub for foreign embassies and diplomatic missions, making it an essential center for international relations.

      Economically, New Delhi plays a vital role, with sectors like public administration, services, finance, IT, and tourism driving its growth. It is a bustling metropolitan city with a population exceeding 20 million in the broader NCT region. The city hosts numerous cultural, political, and sporting events, making it a dynamic destination for both domestic and international visitors.

      New Delhi often witnesses major political events, protests, and public gatherings, with issues ranging from social justice and economic reforms to environmental policies and international relations. The city has also been a focal point during significant movements, including the Anna Hazare-led anti-corruption protests in 2011, the Nirbhaya protests in 2012, and the Farmers’ Protest in 2020-21.

      In August 2019, BOOM fact-checked a viral claim suggesting that Muslims in Delhi had gathered to show support for Kashmir.

      BOOM found out that the event was actually organized to demand the enactment of stricter laws against mob lynching, debunking the misleading claim about the gathering’s purpose.
