The nearby residential colony is known as Gulmohar Park Journalists' Colony or simply Gulmohar Park for short, and was established by a group of journalists in the 1970s and is today home to business people, senior lawyers and cine star Amitabh Bachchan's Delhi residence.{{Cite web|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2001/20011120/ncr1.htm#6|title = The Tribune, Chandigarh, India – NCR stories}}
