Challenges of the district : Our research with local communities Panchkula faces lot of environment related issues.
The other main issue we face is, in the mornings, when we go for morning
walks there is a huge stench engulfing the road. Due to lack of toilets
the migrant laborers defecate in the open. This emits fouls smell
and the roads become inaccessible. There are lots of vacant lands
that are not well maintained. Due to the mess lot of reptiles have
crept in which can be fatal.
