This village is now demolished (in year 2007) for the IGI airport extension. And rehabilitate this village to Vasant Kunj (Rangpuri Pahari). It is very interesting to know that related authorities AAI (Airport Authority of India), DDA (Delhi Development Authority) are doing major malfunctioning to allot the alternative plots. A major part of villagers are not getting alternative plots till now (August 2013).Now officials of the most corrupt department of India i.e., MCD are harassing residents of this village as they are asking for hefty bribes to sanction and regularise their building plans.This is really shameful that residents of this country are treated in such a pathetic manner. Most of the villagers are not living in the new Nangal Dewat as the plots are still not allotted to them, More than 58 families including children and old people are on hunger strike since 12 december 2016, and it's awful that AAI still not giving them even though they have all the proofs including Honorable High Court and Lt. Governor's Order. people are still waiting for justice as on 2017 however village were displaced on 2007 by AAI Without paying even a single rupee. Corruption by DDA is very sad in allotting plots according to 1972 old survey as by 2007 these nuclear families have grown many times & single plot leads to loss of valuable land to villagers as maximum plot size was decided 650 metres square only . government displaced complete village without paying for construction . it is really sad india wants to become super power but have nothing in the name of justice . new survey should be done to allot plots to every single eligible person who is above 18 years by year 2007 . DDA have saved half land which was acquired for these villagers using this old survey however villagers didn't even get half of their land share .
People of this village are considered to be sincere, modest and trustworthy. This village has given many scholars and government officers.This village used to have largest chunk of land as compared to nearby villages and people of this village are wealthy and influential from past many decades having record from 1300AD.
