New Delhi is a municipality and district in Delhi which serves as the capital and seat of government of India. In addition, it also serves as the seat of Government of Delhi. The foundation stone of the city was laid by George V, Emperor of India during the Delhi Durbar of 1911. It was designed by British architects, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker. The new capital was inaugurated on 13 February 1931, by India's Viceroy Lord Irwin.
Although colloquially ''Delhi'' and ''New Delhi'' as names are used interchangeably to refer to the jurisdiction of NCT of Delhi, these are two distinct entities, and the latter is a small part of the former. New Delhi has been selected as one of the hundred Indian cities to be developed as a smart city under PM Narendra Modi's flagship Smart Cities Mission. It also has one of India's largest bus transport systems. Buses are operated by the state-owned Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), which owns largest fleet of compressed natural gas (CNG)-fueled buses in the world.
Return Visit
Just returned from our 2nd stay at SRC. Like the first visit and the previous 25 visits to other Sandals locations everything was as good as we could hope for. Food, Bars, Restaurants, Service, and the grounds were what we have come to expect at Sandals. Once again the Jamaican people who work here really make the difference. Some of the nicest you will find. If you visit be sure to check out the bartender at the pool bar named Roderick. His talents and work ethic are second to none. He can be mixing 4 cocktails while taking verbal orders for the next 4 and be joking with everyone else at the bar all while remembering everyone's name. It is quite incredible to watch. Once again special thanks to the G.M. Gerald Christ for keeping a check on us and spending part of his busy schedule to visit with us. One last special thanks for our travel agent Carrie Piekos from Sanditz Travel in East Windsor, Ct. She went above and beyond to get us out a day early before a blizzard that shut down the airport and surely would have cost us a couple of days of our vacation. Would definitely return.
