New Delhi, April 26: Narela, Bakhtawarpur, Alipur, Holambi Khurd and Bankner wards of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation comes under the Narela assembly constituency. Narela along with its neighbouring wards lie on the fringes of Delhi and consists of the rural population along with resettlement colonies. The area is still grappling with the issues of connectivity from the rest of Delhi. However, the pressure is likely to ease soon with the opening up of the third phase of Delhi metro.
