Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Road

At the south-west end it stretches up to the crossing at Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Marg and Safdarjung Road junction.

In November 2014, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee petitioned the Prime Minister of India to change the name of Aurangzeb Road after Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh guru, as a tribute to him on his martyrdom anniversary observed on 24 November.

[3] Guru Tegh Bahadur was executed in Delhi on the orders of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, who was infamous for his religious oppression.

In my opinion, this will be a great way of preserving his memories and legacy forever," wrote Maheish Girri for changing the name of the Road.

The Renaming of Aurangzeb road to Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road also got criticism from various sections of historians[5] and politicians, such as Sharad Yadav of Janata Dal (United),[6] Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati,[7][8] Tariq Anwar of Nationalist Congress Party[9] and Asaduddin Owaisi of AIMIM.
