It is also the 2nd most populous city on the planet.[4][5] The NCT and its urban region have been given the special status of National Capital Region(NCR) under the Constitution of India's 69th amendment act of 1991. The NCR includes the neighbouring cities of Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Greater Noida, Sonepat, Panipat, Karnal, Rohtak, Rewari, Baghpat, Meerut, Alwar, Bharatpurand other nearby towns.
