Chandighar is more beautiful than delhi
Answers
Chandigarh is more beautiful than Delhi in its natural beauty but Delhi is more beautiful than Chandigarh by its famous monuments .
I live in Chandigarh and have visited Delhi many times, only to confirm that my city is a lot better than Delhi in all aspects except employment opportunities. If you ARE getting a good job in Chandigarh, you have NO other place better for you in India. This is because :
1. Chandigarh is a well planned, greenest and second cleanest city in India (after Mysore).
2. There are wide, open roads surrounded by trees, and no traffic jams (though now the problem is increasing).
3. No encroachments on roads as police is strict and does not take bribes.
4. No slum is allowed in the city by the police (although few slums exist).
5. The residential sectors are well planned, clean and have more than half the area devoted to parks, and separate area for markets.
6. The city has smartest police of India and is safest Indian city.
7. The cost of living is low as compared to most big Indian cities.
8. For shopping, there are sector 17 and sector 34 markets and Elante Mall.
9. Has lots of places to visit in the city like Sukhna lake, Rock garden, Rose garden, Valley of animals, a good museum and lot more.
10. For public transport there are air conditioned CTU buses, auto rickshaws, and separate autos (tuk-tuk) for women (often driven by women).
11. Less crowded as compared to other Indian cities(though now getting crowded at a rapid pace).
12. There are good schools and universities(but not as good as Delhi).
13. Due to huge amount of trees, it is a pollution free city, and thus people are healthy.
Also better power situation and water supply than Delhi.
Now let's take Delhi for same criteria :
1. Delhi is mostly unplanned except central Delhi and Noida (not a part of Delhi). Also, the greenery and cleanliness of Chandigarh can only be found at these two places, and few others. The remaining 70%-80% of city is dirty and has rare green cover.
2. Roads are wide and open(sometimes tree lined), but there are encroachments to narrow them and cause traffic jams.
3. Encroachments - half the roads are occupied for hawkers, parking and beggars.
4. Slums and poverty is common, though much less as compared to cities like Mumbai.
5. 2o per cent of residential areas are planned. These look like Chandigarh from inside but at least ten times more expensive.
6. Safety - need I say anything at all for comparison?
7. Cost of living higher than Chandigarh ( but still rents are lower)
8. Shopping - here Delhi beats Chandigarh by big margin.
9. Infinite number of places to visit in the city, thanks to its large size. Way ahead of Chandigarh.
10. DTC buses and metro trains, and many other modes of public transport. Public transport is better but not as safe for women as Chandigarh.
11. Much more crowded than Chandigarh, but still less crowded than most Indian cities.
12. Very good schools and universities. Lot better than Chandigarh.
13. Most Polluted city in the world, at least 100 times more polluted than Chandigarh.
For pollution, visit the Yamuna river to see the plight of Delhi.
I also prefer the slow, peaceful and comfortable life of Chandigarh to Delhi's fast life. Street food is more or less same, as the cities have a common north Indian culture.
Hence I think Chandigarh is a lot more livable than Delhi or any other Indian city; I am proud of my city.
