Key issues facing the administration include the conversion of properties from leasehold to freehold, land disposal, a metro project for the Tricity, and the privatization of the power sector. Among the most pressing concerns are estate and housing matters, urban planning, transport, and power privatization.

Additionally, ongoing matters such as fixing fresh collector rates, addressing teacher-related issues in schools, tackling encroachments, and resolving property violations are also under consideration by the central government.

The four officers are expected to play a critical role in expediting these projects and addressing the growing needs of the city’s residents. As the Chandigarh administration awaits key decisions from the central government, the leadership of these new IAS officers will be vital in shaping the region’s future growth and ensuring the efficient implementation of pending works. Their performance will be closely watched in the coming months.
