Sriniwaspuri

Sriniwaspuri is a small town located in the southern part of Delhi, India. This town has two colonies - government colony and private colony. The government colony has LIG or Janta quarters, and residents here are employees of various government offices and their family members. The private colony has many residents who are Multani speakers. Ancestors of this community used to live in Pakistan, and relocated to India at the time of independence. At that time many Muslims who were living in India relocated to Pakistan similarly many Hindus shifted to India.

The private colony of Sriniwaspuri is a congested place and grappling with basic issues such as water supply, electricity and encroachment. This colony has many unregulated businesses such as provisional stores, dairies, confectionery shops, etc. Over the years, the place has commercialised so much that many residents have started leaving the place.fact|date=December 2007
