context_page_description: Najafgarh is a town in the South West Delhi district in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, India. It is one of the three subdivisions of the Southwest Delhi district. Najafgarh is located at the outskirts of the southwestern part of Delhi near the Haryana border, a distance of 29 kilometres from the New Delhi City Center. It has a mixture of rural and urban populations from Delhi and Haryana. Due to the presence of much freehold land, Najafgarh is one of the fastest-developing tehsils in southwestern Delhi.
  Najafgarh is primarily known for being an economic and transport hub in rural Delhi. Major markets located in Najafgarh include Main Market, Nawada Bazaar, Anaz Mandi, Tura Mandi and Sabzi Mandi. Seven roads start at the Najafgarh Phirni and go to: Inderlok, Chhawla, Khaira, Ghuman Hera, Galib Pur, Dauralla, Dhansa, Jharoda, Dichaon and Nangloi. The roads towards Chhawla, Dhansa and Jharoda further lead up to the cities of Gurgaon, Jhajjar and Bahadurgarh in Haryana.

It has an average elevation of 218 m (715 ft) above mean Sea Level. Najafgarh Drain, the continuation of the Sahibi River and an elongation of the Najafgarh Lake is the Indian capital's most polluted body of water due to the direct inflow of untreated sewage from surrounding populated areas. A January 2005 report by the Central Pollution Control Board classifies this drain, with 13 other highly polluted wetlands, under category ‘‘D’’ for assessing the water quality of wetlands in wildlife habitats.
