As per official record of land revenue department in the district which comprise Panchkula City, Kalka, Raipur Rani, Barwala and Morni, as many as 500 properties were registered from November 8 to November 30. During the corresponding period last year, a total of 606 properties were registered. In fact, in the previous month between October 8 and October 30, 2016, a total of 692 properties were registered in the district.
