ONE of the worst affected areas in northeast Delhi during the infamous Delhi Riots of 2020; a place that has witnessed major fire incidents causing severe damage to lives and lands of innocents, with the most recent incident in 2022 which killed seven people-this is Gokulpur.
The assembly was created following reshuffles by the delimitation commission of 2008. It is a cluster of 45 unauthorised colonies and a resettlement colony. Also it is one of the 12 constituencies reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates. Of the 1.94 lakh voters here, about 90,000 (46%) are from scheduled subcastes like Khatik, Mallaha, Koli and Valmiki.
