'''Gokal Pur''' also known as village gokalpur is a [[census town]] in [[North East Delhi|North East district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Delhi]]. Gokal Pur village is founded by a Rajput clan, more than 300 years ago( exact time/date is not known). There were two brothers, one is Gokal and other is Johri. Gokul establish village Gokalpur and Johri established village Johripur. The present population majorly includes gurjars, rajputs, pandits and valmikis. It was previously a village with cultivated land and few houses. But around 1967, the land was taken over by Land and Building department. The land than handed over to DDA (Delhi development authority). Wazirabad Road, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar college, MIG and LIG flats, etc are all on the land that Land and Building department acquired from the farmers of village gokalpur. Much to your surprise, the case against this acquisition of land (for a proper amount of acquisition and alternate land ) is still pending in court. The 4th generation of this village is still standing to fight for the case.
