Zirakpur near Chandigarh is all set to follow the footsteps of the city beautiful which proudly boasts of being categorized into various defined sectors. The logically planned urban city Chandigarh has been a guiding factor in many cities around the world. How could Zirakpur, which lies in a radius of around 12 km from Chandigarh, not follow the logic behind how its contemporary city Chandigarh has been developed? Zirakpur MC has finally issued notices to the various concerned authorities regarding the same and aims to categorize the residential complexes within the Zirakpur city to have a “Sector-wise” division in two months’ time from now.

Why was the decision taken?

Zirakpur Municipal Corporation has thoughtfully issued the notices to follow the Chandigarh pattern in the city for ease of development and movement within the region. Not only Zirakpur but surrounding areas of the region also are getting the advantage of the decision which took more than three years to get into the final stage. A meeting was held recently under the able guidance of honorable MC President a few days ago, wherein the impending decision got finalized. The reason cited for late implementation is traced back to the cumbersome computations that had to be performed to allocate proportionate areas based on the population residing in the region.

Well Begun, Half Done

Sticking by the notion mentioned above, the fast-track development of Zirakpur as a part of the linear expansion of Chandigarh city in the outskirts regions had led to severe chaos in the city earlier. Now, measures were required to mitigate the problems and discussions led to no conclusions. Staying strong and firm with the decision now, Zirakpur MC has finally proposed a plan that has won the hearts of many residents of the city.

Since the development is taking place on similar lines of Chandigarh’s development, Zirakpur residents won’t feel that they live on the outskirts of the city beautiful Chandigarh any longer. Kudos !! to the decision that is creating a Chandigarh out of Chandigarh. We won’t mind all such Chandigarh’s around because we love the city and are definitely proud of it !!!
