Sector-17 was constructed at the same time when the city of Chandigarh was built. It was turned into a retail hub after the emergence of three theatres (Neelam, Jagat, KC), offices, Parade Ground, the Inter State Bus Terminus, general post office and many open spaces.[2]
Sector-17 is also called Chandigarh's heart.[1] No vehicles are allowed at the plaza, instead there is a multilevel parking lot to park vehicles.[3] The plaza has a fountain.[4] It is a no-vending zone.[5] It has a huge parade ground where Independence day as well as Republic day celebrations are organised every year.
