Munirka is further divided into four portions namely Munirka DDA Flats, Munirka Enclave, Munirka Vihar & Munirka Village. While Delhi Development authority developed the first three in 1970s & sold it on draw basis, the original inhabitants of Munirka continue to stay in Munirka Village. While bureaucrats and businessmen live in these flats, in the village area, migrant people from across the country—mostly north eastern states—stay here as tenants.
The notification for the urbanisation of Munirka was issued in March 1954, making it one of the earliest villages to be urbanised.[1]
