Due to widening of the Zirakpur-Kalka highway, the resorts and banquets on this road are facing problems like parking, traffic jams etc. People prefer banquets on the Patiala highway(NH-64) as there is no traffic congestion, and these places are easily accessible from Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula as well, recently people from Khanna, Rajpura and Gobindgarh are also coming here to hold their parties.
The industry is flourishing on the Patiala highway NH64, including themed banquets like Utsav Grand, based on Roman architecture, with lifesize human figures (idols), domes, waterfalls etc. constructed over a large area.
highway, the railway over-bridge completed in 2011 has considerably improved the connectivity with Panchkula
though it had overpassed many earlier deadlines due to various reasons. The Four laning of Zirakpur-Patiala road has been approved, but the actual work on the site has to start yet. The Aerocity Road will make a trip to Mohali even shorter and is expected to be completed by early 2012. The street lighting of the internal roads is quite good. Sewerage has been laid in 90% of the Zirakpur colonies and road carpeting has been done in most of the colonies. The rain water drainage system is yet to be developed for whole of the region. A sewerage treatment plant for this upcoming town is also on the cards.

traffic. The bridge under area is poorly designed, as the road under the flyover turns to single lane while the same road before and after the flyover is two-lane, leading to a major chaos at times. The bridge was constructed by GMR constructions
. There is no railway station of its own in Zirakpur. The nearest railway station is Chandigarh
, which is around 8 km from here. For those traveling to the town by air, the nearest airport is situated in Chandigarh
at around 5 km from here.
With development of IT park in Chandigarh, demand for residential flats have increased in the area. This has escalated the costs of flats as well. Some new projects have started coming up on Ambala Road area. Panchkula Heights, Bollywood Heights and Sushma Uraban Views are few of them. But connectivity and narrow roads remains a problem in these areas and hence flats are less sold. Zirakpur has seen much faster development on Ambala road with new malls and commercial hotels starting up there.
The Octroi post near the Hotel Ashoka is another reason for the chaos. Shift it elsewhere.
Roads are not carpeted especially godown area causing major accidents.

History
Zirakpur got its name from a small village, which is now a part of the present Zirakpur town. For long it remained a bunch of small villages located along the Chandigarh-Ambala highway. Then Chandigarh started to expand and these villages started to seem like a part of Chandigarh. Before the year 2000, the city had a population of less than twenty thousand. Soon a small village Baltana, which is a part of Zirakpur now, started having some population growth being near to Panchkula and Chandigarh. From 2004 ownwards the city's population started to increase rapidly, with booming property prices and the arrival of a large number of residential projects in the suburbs. The city's estimated population as of 2010 is nearly 1.5 lacs.Geography

Issues that concern Zirakpur
The town is developing and there are plenty of issues that need to be addressed.- The jams under the Chandigarh-Ambala flyover There is only a single lane under the flyover, that needs to be widened. Moreover the central divider can be used as a parking, thus further clearing the road of blockages. The worst affected stretch is the one between Patiala chowk and Kalka chowk where the footpaths are blocked with shopkeepers displaying their mercantile. The vehicles of customers and shopkeepers also remain parked on this stretch of road under the very eyes of Traffic Police. The situation is further wosened by stopping of busses there which should not be allowed at all. But, who cares......?
The Octroi post near the Hotel Ashoka is another reason for the chaos. Shift it elsewhere.
- Theft and robbery need to be addressed
- The ROB on Panchukla Zirakpur highway needs to be completed early.
Roads are not carpeted especially godown area causing major accidents.
