SRISHTI SUDHERA
One of the youngest urban areas in the country and less than five decades old, the town of Panchkula is free from banes like traffic jams, claustrophobic tiny living quarters and narrow dingy streets. This can be attributed to the fact that it is essentially an infant in city years and planned based on the Chandigarh planning model. It is a Government driven development with no private developer involvement. These factors have ensured uniform sector planning, even distribution of population density and green space distribution across the town.
