About 20 kilometres from the nearest Delhi metro station lies a piece of land that should have been a women’s college under Delhi University’s Swami Shraddhanand College.
The land, measuring 93 bigha or 37 acres, is in Mamurpur village in Narela. It’s dense with trees. Portions of it are used as a dumping ground and as a vast playground for monkeys. It’s been this way since 1978, when it was given by the panchayat, led at the time by the pradhan, Sunder Lal Khatri, for the construction of a women’s college. However, nothing has materialised.
