Punjab and Haryana High Court Reserves Verdict on Chandigarh Tribune Chowk Flyover Proposal

The Punjab and Haryana High Court reserved its verdict on Chandigarh's proposed Tribune Chowk flyover after hearing arguments from advocate Tanu Bedi and UT senior counsel Amit Jhanji. Bedi opposed the flyover, citing urban planning principles and environmental concerns, arguing it would only shift traffic congestion rather than solve it. She emphasized preserving Chandigarh's original green, pedestrian-friendly design and urged a halt to tree felling until the verdict. The court acknowledged the plea but did not immediately decide on the stay.
