Though these students are temporary residents of the city, once a batch moves on, another one is ready. Some students settle here permanently. The UT Administration and Punjab and Haryana governments should jointly tackle the infrastructure shortcomings in the tricity. Heads of the three cities should call a meeting and assess the ground realities of parking, housing and health services, difficulties faced by the public and direct respective departments to frame a list of shortcomings in infrastructure to upgrade the existing set up.
There is a need to constitute tricity infrastructure planning board and make a strategy to generate funds. These funds can be utilised for construction of flyovers, underpasses on roads connecting the tricity and multi-storey community parking lots. Other common issues can be solved with mutual consent. Income generated from parking lots can be jointly used for further development. Parking, traffic jams and health issues are common problems in the tricity.
So, better results can be achieved if tackled jointly. The decision of the UT Administration to provide vaccine to Chandigarh residents, who are bitten by stray dogs, is not desirable.
It should be provided to the needy in the tricity at designated centres. Traffic jams can also be tackled jointly by earmarking entry and exit roads during the peak hours. The tricity needs to constitute a council on the lines of the NCR Board, which oversees development and infrastructure in Delhi and its adjoining districts of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
Something on similar lines can ease the burden on Chandigarh, Punjab and Haryana. The tricity board can undertake joint operations for vehicular movement, restricted area access for heavy vehicles and that too only at notified timings, have underground mechanised parking lots, removal of encroachents and unauthorised construction.
Further, OPD services at government hospitals need to be enhanced by at least 12 hours. A centralised dumping ground for garbage, which is 20 to 30 km away from the tricity periphery, is required.
No infrastructure can end the problem of car parking. Multilevel parking created on five acres, whose market value is crore, is lying almost empty.
Nobody is willing to pay car parking charges here. Had this land been auctioned for a mall, its parking would have been almost fully occupied similar to Elante Mall. Funds received could have been used for creating metro transport infrastructure. Hence, reducing cars on roads is the only solution. No public facility should be free. To reduce the rush of cars, the authorities can increase registration and parking charges. Public transport infrastructure can be created in the city from the funds generated.
Singapore has been developed on this theme. Avoid creating white elephants till the users are ready to foot the bills. The basic infrastructure of the city has been over-burdened resulting in fast deterioration of basic services, like availability of water, electricity, healthcare and clean air.
And the reason for this grim scenario is not too far to seek. Considering them as an easy vote bank, our elected representatives have been welcoming, rather than opposing, the ever increasing influx of migrants to the tricity, thus making the law-abiding genuine residents face the music.
City planners appear to be at a loss to find a solution unless the unabated influx of migrants is checked resolutely. The UT Administration together with Punjab and Haryana Governments should work out a joint action plan to tackle issues related to infrastructure, which concern Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula.
Zirakpur, which is an entry point to Chandigarh, should be given due importance keeping in view the infrastructural growth in the tricity. Zirakpur is hardly in line with the development in UT, Mohali and Panchkula.
Like GMADA, a greater Chandigarh area development authority should be formed to plan and control the growth of the tricity, including Zirakpur. Sector 17 is the heart of activities of the Chandigarh TriCity. Here falls the Inter-state Bus Terminus, District Courts, business and shopping centers encompassing a variety of activities.
An ample area has been provided for the parks, leisure valley, gardens. It is an integrated system of roads divided in seven parts. The sectors resemble traditional Indian Mohalla in a way. Each sector measures m by m covering acres of land area. Though educational, medical and cultural facilities are spread all over the city, however, the majors are located in Sector 10, 11, 12, 14 and Tree plantation and landscaping is an integral part of the masterplan.
There are 26 different types of flowering and 22 species of evergreen trees planted along the roads, city parks, parking areas, shopping complexes, and residential areas to lessen the harsh climate of the area.
The present plan respects its historical legacy. The Mohali masterplan is not entirely separated from Chandigarh masterplan but an integral part of it. The planning area covers square kilometers. It includes 60 sectors in total in the main sectorial grid as well as periphery areas such as Mohali and Panchkula.
The rapid urbanization of the towns such as Mohali, Panchkula, Khara, etc. The vision for Mohali is to become a globally competitive metropolis. It also aims at making it self-resilient to sustain the pace of economic and urban development in Panjab.
Facing flak for poor tricity coordination in Covid management, Chandigarh, Haryana and Punjab on Tuesday decided to constitute a committee comprising deputy commissioners of UT, Panchkula and Mohali. The committee will meet twice a week online and coordinate on various issues pertaining to Covid management, such as lockdown restrictions, hospitals, supply lines, and vaccinations. The three administrations were forced into action after directions from the Punjab and Haryana high court on setting up a unified command centre for the tricity Covid management.
In case, there is a common platform to deliberate upon the strategies to be adopted, it would be easier to tackle the challenges posed by the pandemic. In the meeting, it was also decided that director, health services, of Mohali, Panchkula and Chandigarh will also meet twice a week over video conference to decide uniform and coordinated approach in medical treatment of Covid patients, under the guidance of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research PGIMER.
In case of emergencies, anywhere in the tricity, the authorities concerned will provide oxygen, medicines and medical equipment, such as ventilators, to each other to avoid any untoward incident. Even though the tricity is a de facto single urban complex, the three administrations have struggled to have a uniform policy on Covid management. Varied night curfew timings, lockdown restrictions and failure to assist to each other has plagued the pandemic management.
After various plans for additions to existing cities were found infeasible the decision was taken to construct a new planed city to reflect the new nation''s modern progressive outlook, to be "unfettered by the traditions of the past, a symbol of the nation''s faith in the future". Initial Master plan developed by American architect-planner Albert Mayer and Polish architect Matthew Nowicki, the city was designed by Swiss born French architect and planner Le Corbusier during s with characteristic architecture of exposed brick and boulder stone masonry to reflect ''honesty of materials'' set amidst landscaped gardens and parks.
With an initial plan for a population size of 1,50, and later taking it to 11,97, the city is laid down in a grid pattern divided into identical looking ''sectors'' of m by 1, mts.
The foundation stone of the city was laid in Subsequently, at the time of reorganization of the state on 1st November, into Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, the city assumed the unique distinction of being the capital city of both, Punjab and Haryana while it itself was declared as a Union Territory and under the direct control of the Central Government.
The city was to be transferred to Punjab in under an agreement during August , the transfer has been delayed pending on transfer of districts in exchange. Located at It has high per capita incomes at Rs , at prices during the year Demographic Status of Chandigarh.
