Sagar Pur is a populous colony consisting of around 10,000 houses situated on Pankha Road, South West Delhi on the way to Janakpuri from Delhi Cantonment. Currently this colony comes under Dwarka (33) Vidhansabha constituency (Earlier it was under Nasirpur constituency (29) which was dissolved due to delimitation) and West Delhi(Earlier it was under Outer Delhi parliamentary constituency which was dissolved due to delimitation).
Sagar Pur is strategically located and very well connected to other colonies of New Delhi such as Janakpuri, Vikaspuri, Dabri, New Delhi, Dwarka Sub City, Delhi Cantonment as well as the Indira Gandhi International Airport & Gurgaon (via Dwarka Sub City).
Sagarpur is divided into smaller regions: East Sagarpur, West Sagarpur, Main Sagarpur, Indirapark Palam Colony, Vashist Park, Durga Park, and has blocks ranging from A to M, with street numbers assigned in each block. The area is a "concrete jungle" with concrete streets, small houses, proper drainage and water supply system but lacks common grounds, parks, community centers and other amenities as found in adjacent Janakpuri. Until recent years, private house ownership has now seen a shift to flat ownership due to increase in property rates of the area. Only drawback of this location is an uncovered drainage which is hindering the development of the area.Now it is covered completely.
Sagarpur was always been crucial to active politics since this colony was made three decades back. In 1993, when Delhi held its first state election for the 70 MLA seats, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swept the Indian National Congress party by grabbing 49 seats. Mr. Vinod Kumar Sharma was the first MLA who got elected from Nasirpur Constituency on BJP seat. Indian National Congress Leader Mr. Mahabal Mishra won in three consecutive elections in 1998, 2003 & 2008 from the seat, and was later also elected as the Member of Parliament of the area in Indian general election, 2009 from West Delhi. In by-elections held in 2009 Bharatiya Janata Party leader Mr. Pradyumn Rajput won the seat in 2009 by-elections by defeating Ms Tilotma Chaudhary of Congress by more than 11,000 votes, Currently this seat is occupied (as per Delhi Legislative Assembly election, 2016) by Mr. adarsh shastri from [aam aadmi party Party]] who received 42734 votes against 37537 votes received by Aam Aadmi Party leader Ravi Kumar Suryan. There are two MCD Councillor from this area (sagarpur and west sagar pur): Mr. Praveen Rajput and Mrs. Usha Gupta, both independents and serving their second term. Parvesh Verma is the current Member of Parliament from the area after being elected from West Delhi Lok Sabha Constituency in Indian general election, 2014.
