Area Overview
What makes Adarsh Nagar special
This row is “Adarsh Nagar”, in the Airport Road and Rajasansi zone. The sheet also carried “Adarsh Nagar Near Ram Nagar” in the Ranjit Avenue and Green Avenue zone — a different zone entirely.
THE LANDMARK IS STRIPPED and the second row ships as a canonicalised alias pointing here, so nothing 404s. BUT THAT IS A PUBLISHING DECISION, NOT A FINDING. Two zones is a genuine reason to suspect two different Adarsh Nagars, and Adarsh Nagar is among the most common colony names in north India.
NOTE ALSO THAT “RAM NAGAR” IS ITSELF A ROW, in a THIRD zone — the Old City and Golden Temple zone. So the composite row referenced a landmark that the sheet places somewhere else again. THE WARD LIST SETTLES ALL OF IT.

Note: THE SHEET CARRIED TWO ADARSH NAGAR ROWS, IN TWO DIFFERENT ZONES — this one, and “Adarsh Nagar Near Ram Nagar” in the Ranjit Avenue zone. They are published as one page so the source row resolves, BUT THAT IS A PUBLISHING DECISION, NOT A FINDING. Adarsh Nagar is among the commonest colony names in north India, and “Ram Nagar” is itself a row in a THIRD zone. IF THESE ARE TWO PLACES, THIS PAGE IS SERVING BOTH. SETTLE IT.
