According to officials, the 15 acres of government land is occupied, and the cost of this land is 400 crore rupees.

IT Park Project Is Also in the CHB Pipeline
CHB is also reviewing the most-awaited project, Rajiv Gandhi Chandigarh Technology Park. In 2022 Union Ministry of Environment and Forest denied the clearance of this project. It has been approximately 3 years since there has been any development. The Ministry raised some issues related to high-rise structures built in the IT Park.
According to them, this IT park site comes under the Eco sensitive zone of the Sukhna wildlife sanctuary.
