History
Naveen Market was previously known as 'Refugee Market'. When refugees from Punjab came to Delhi, in the aftermath of partition in 1947, they found the city in murderous riots. So, many of them continued further East to make Kanpur their home.They were provided with small houses in a suburban locality, aptly named “Lajpat Nagar”, and small wooden kiosks in a market in the heart of the city. With their industry, the refugees turned it into the posh Naveen Market and Lajpat Nagar had become a colony of rich houses by 1970’s.
