Panchkula, once dubbed “Haryana’s Paris,” is on its way to becoming a massive stretch of wilderness. The separators are overgrown with grasses, weeds, and shrubs, and the roundabouts — built at a cost of crores – are in disrepair. Tiles are observed breaking away from the edges. The bicycle stands are lush green, with unpruned trees and decrepit curbs.
The belt, which was formerly densely forested, is now riddled with enormous sections of desolate land where trees have been taken down. Residents in Panchkula believe that the government intends to build the Ashiana flats by “destroying” the open space. Residents of Panchkula’s Sector 20 have claimed that their pleas to conserve their green belt, which they claim is in jeopardy, have gone unheeded.
The Sector-20 resident welfare group has demanded that the chief administrator of Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) conserve the green area and the built park number 2008 in their sector. Others have also visited with the MLA from Panchkula. Sector 20 is characterized as a concrete jungle, according to KK Jindal, president of the RWA, because it is the most densely populated sector in Panchkula, with a population of roughly 60,000 people.

However, under the guise of the Ashiana Scheme, HSVP and CTP are busily plotting the demolition of the green belt and the adjacent park. He noted that there were already roughly 2,000 EWS houses and flats in the sector. Currently, roads and infrastructure are insufficient to handle automobiles from Sector 20’s neighbouring peer Mashallah and the Dhakoli villages in Punjab.
Jindal stated that they were not opposed to EWS rehabilitation, but rather against tree chopping. “We propose that you conserve hundreds of trees and plants in the 10-acre garden and surrounding park in this sector and maintain the context of World Environment Day,” the president said.
