Tourists will get to see this tourist spot of historical importance in South Delhi. The 400-year-old Mughal-era Barapula bridge is close to Nizamuddin railway station.

In this way, tourists will get to see another archaeological heritage.
Gates are being installed on both sides so that tourists can see it from a distance.
Three tourist spots within a radius of two km

Humayun’s tomb, Hazrat Nizamuddin’s dargah, Abdul Rahim Khan-e-Khana’s tomb and Barapula bridge are nearby. Till now, people used to go back after seeing three tourist sites, now they will also be able to see the Barapula bridge built during Jahangir’s reign. Till now, this place was a victim of encroachment, recently, due to the blockage of the drain, the colonies around it were flooded, after which the Lieutenant Governor reached the spot and took immediate action.
