Akbar Road

Akbar Road is a main road in central New Delhi, India. At the north-east end it stretches from the India Gate roundabout. At the south-west end it stretches up to the Teen Murti roundabout. The roundabout leads to Lok Kalyan Marg, Rajaji Marg, Teen Murti Marg and Safdarjung Road. It is also the road on which India's political party, Indian National Congress, has its head office.[1][2][3][4]

Akbar Road

Junctions

  • A junction is formed at the roundabout connecting Mansingh Road and Maulana Azad Road.
  • Another junction is formed at Motilal Nehru Place, where Motilal Nehru Road and Janpath Road intersect.
  • Another junction is formed at a roundabout where Krishna Menon Road, Tughlaq Road and Tees January Marg meet.

This road. along with its adjoining roads, form the exclusive V.V.I.P zone where India's topmost powerful politicians live, which includes cabinet ministers and senior MPs. It is yards away from the Parliament and the Presidential Palace.[5]

Controversy

In 2016 General Vijay Kumar Singh demanded that Akbar Road be renamed as Maharana Pratap Singh Road, claiming that the Mughal Emperor of Persian Chagatai Turco-Mongolic descent was an "invader".[6] In 2018, the signage was defaced and a banner proclaiming "Maharana Pratap Singh Road" was pasted over the signage. An FIR[clarification needed] was registered by the police.[7]
