CM orders roadmap to transform Panchkula into Haryana's number one city

Chandigarh, Jul 10 (UNI) Promising visible improvements in civic services ahead of the monsoon, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday directed officials to install recharge wells in every park to eliminate waterlogging, expedite desilting of drains and sewers, strengthen drinking water supply, and prepare a roadmap to transform Panchkula into the state's "number one city."
Chairing a three-hour meeting of the Panchkula Metropolitan Development Authority (PMDA), the Chief Minister announced a series of citizen-focused measures aimed at improving everyday urban life, including cleaner neighbourhoods, better roads, safer public spaces, enhanced drainage infrastructure and new housing for slum dwellers.
Making waterlogging the top priority, Saini instructed officials to install recharge wells in all parks, particularly at locations prone to flooding during the rainy season, so that rainwater can be absorbed into the ground instead of accumulating on the surface.
