Shiv nagar, also known as Shivnagar, is a hamlet near Bibipur Jalalabad village[1] on the outskirts of Jhinjhana town[2] in Shamli district in Uttar Pradesh, India.[3]
History
[edit]In June 2011, Snapdeal installed 15 hand pumps so that villagers would no longer need to walk for miles to fetch drinking water. The hamlet was facing shortage of clean water.[4] To express their gratitude, residents erected a board[5] naming the hamlet "Snapdeal.com Nagar" in addition to Shiv nagar.[6][7]
