Panchkula has seen significant investment in infrastructure development, including Rs 7 crore for road, drainage, and waste management in Wards 19 and 20, new community centers, and a state-sanctioned highway project. However, the city's civic image was impacted by a sharp decline in the national cleanliness survey, dropping from 139th to 219th place. Heavy rains also exposed drainage system vulnerabilities, contrasting with infrastructure upgrades.
