Adampur Flyover
A flyover sanctioned in 2016 with a two-year completion target remains unfinished more than seven years later despite land acquisition and removal of over 120 encroachments in 2022; residents describe crippled local trade and a 2025 Lok Adalat petition alleging administrative indifference.
Jalandhar "Smart" Road Collapse
A road connecting Workshop Chowk to the DAV College flyover in Jalandhar, built at a cost of ₹10 crore, collapsed just 10 months after completion. Objections about the construction had reportedly been raised earlier by officials but were dismissed by the engineers who built it.
Shaheed S. Beant Singh Park: Renovated, Then Reduced to Ruins
A 5-acre park named after a former Chief Minister was renovated in 2019 with a fountain, lighting, benches and a walking track, but has since fallen into disrepair with broken swings, overgrown pathways, open sewage, garbage accumulation, stray animals and reported gambling on the premises, driving away residents who once used it for daily walks.
Frequently Asked
Visitor questions
What is the number one place to see in Jalandhar?
Scroll to the list. It runs newest first, by the most recent year on record for each entry, so whatever the city has managed most recently sits at the top. Entries with no documented year are filed at the end.
Are these attractions safe to visit?
Define 'safe'. Daylight visits are advised. Maintain distance from open manholes, leaning structures, and anything under active repair. We accept no liability; neither does anyone else, which is rather the theme.
How much did these projects cost?
Where public figures exist, they're listed on each attraction's page, sourced from tenders, budgets and RTI replies. Several projects have no publicly disclosed final cost — that's noted too.
