Mohali is a city
adjacent to
Chandigarh, 18th
District in Punjab,
India. It is
officially named
after the eldest son
of Guru Gobind
Singh, Sahibzada
Ajit Singh (SAS
Nagar, or "House of
Sahibzada Ajit
Singh"). It, along
with Chandigarh and
Panchkula, form a
part of the
Chandigarh Tricity.
Punjab government
has again changed
the name Mohali to
Ajitarh. The
original plan of
Mohali is in fact a
mere extension of
the road and design
system of Chandigarh
without any unique
planning. The
development earlier
was only till Phase
VII.
In 1992, the Punjab
Cricket Association
(PCA) unveiled a
plan to build a
state-of-the-art
facility complete
with a separate
practise ground to
be built in a swampy
area in Mohali. The
PCA invested heavily
in the ground, a
swimming pool,
health club, tennis
court, library,
restaurant, and bar
and outdoor & indoor
cricket practice
nets were
incorporated into
the plans. Most of
the Punjab-based
national cricketers
train in Mohali,
including Yuvraj
Singh, Harbhajan
Singh, Dinesh
Mongia, Manpreet
Gony and Punjab
cricket team. |
