CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: A quiet, lesser-known road in Delhi has suddenly found itself in the national spotlight after Prime Minister Narendra Modi was honoured by the Republic of Cyprus. Following the conferral of the award, social media buzzed with curiosity when a road in Delhi—named after Cyprus decades ago—began trending. This symbolic connection between the two nations highlights decades-old diplomatic ties and renewed interest in Cyprus’s historical presence in India.
Located in the heart of the national capital, the “Cyprus Road” was originally named to celebrate the strong Indo-Cypriot friendship. The recent recognition of PM Modi by the Cypriot government has inadvertently put this obscure stretch of road on the map, drawing attention from media, history buffs, and curious citizens alike. Locals have expressed surprise and pride at the sudden fame of their neighborhood, with some even demanding better upkeep of the now-famous road.
This rare instance of international recognition linking back to a forgotten piece of local heritage showcases how global diplomacy can shed light on hidden corners of urban landscapes. The story of Cyprus Road serves as a reminder of the enduring cultural and diplomatic bridges built across time and geography.
