Derawal Nagar is a neighbourhood in North Delhi. It is named after people of the Derawal community. Originally native to the Derajat region (districts of Dera Ismail Khan and Dera Ghazi Khan in present-day Pakistan). These individuals, who are mostly Hindu, were settled here after the partition of India in 1947. It comprises two blocks A and B.[1] Many of these Derawalis in Delhi have opened their dry fruit shops in Chandni Chowk.
