Panchkula sans playgrounds
Panchkula, June 23 Every sector in the town has nine to 10 parks and the area of each park varies from 0.15 acres to 0.38 acres. These parks are maintained by the residents welfare associations. Fearing damage to ornamental plants, the association members do not allow children to play in these parks. "Parks are developed so that everyone benefits from these, but as these are small and have cemented pathways, children are not able to play outdoor games there," said Soniya Sharma, a Sector 9 resident and mother of two. As children play on streets, minor accidents have become a routine occurrence. "The elderly discourage children from playing in parks. Even the school authorities do not let them play in playgrounds after school hours," said BB Singal, senior BJP leader, and former vice-president of the erstwhile municipal council. Singal suggested that children should be allowed to play in community centres as these centre were booked for social functions for just 30 days in a year.

Under the scheme, GMADA has selected 4,500 applicants through a draw of lots. Sources said about 2,000 successful candidates had already opted to withdraw from the scheme. "We receive five to 10 applications everyday," said an official of the department. When there are only 2,500 successful candidates left, why the authorities are planning to construct about 500 extra flats in the first phase, said the official. On the other hand, GMADA officials said only speculators were opting for withdrawal, as the condition of five-year lock in any transaction was not going down well with them.
