 One Colonel Young, tasked with moving the villagers of Raisina – a village soon to disappear to make way for the grand edifices of state to come up along Rajpath, established the colony of 'Youngpura', which was colloquialised as Jangpura.Later, in 1950–51, it grew to add Jangpura Extension to accommodate many of the migrants who arrived in Delhi at the time of Partition of India.That accounts for Jangpura Extension's high Punjabi and Sikh population to date.
