History Of Mohali
Mohali is a city adjacent to Chandigarh, 18th District in Punjab, India. It is officially named after the eldest son of Guru Gobind Singhji, Sahibzada Ajit Singhji (SAS Nagar, or "House of Sahibzada Ajit Singhji").  Mohali was conceived after the trifurcation of Punjab and its capital Chandigarh becoming a Union Territory in late 1966. Today, Mohali and Chandigarh are contiguous areas with only the boundary of Punjab and UT of Chandigarh dividing this area. The original plan of Mohali is in fact a mere extension of the road and design system of Chandigarh without any unique planning. The development earlier was only till Phase VII. The development of sectors and phases from Phase 8 onwards started in late 1980s, and the city got its own bus stand in Phase 8 in mid 1990s. In 2006, Mohali's population was near 200,000, approximately 1/5 of Chandigarh's. The region has been targeted by an increasing number of outsourcing IT companies, who look to capitalize on the rich investment opportunities the city offers.

Mohali and Panchkula (adjoining Chandigarh to its East and in Haryana) are two satellite cities of Chandigarh. The trio of these three cities is collectively known as Chandigarh Tricity.

Climate
Mohali has a sub-tropical continental monsoon climate characterized by a seasonal rhythm: hot summers, chilly winters, unreliable rainfall and great variation in temperature (-1 °C to 44 °C). In winter, frost sometimes occurs during December and January. The average annual rainfall is recorded at 617 mm. The city also receives occasional winter rains from the west.

City Design
Following the success of Chandigarh's sector design, Mohali was similarly planned into identical 800 X 1200 m sectors. Many have yet to be fully developed, as is the case of sector 62, which is earmarked for a future commercial City Centre. Its proximity to the PCA Stadium, as well as unrivaled transportation links to Chandigarh make it a suitable choice.  The recent Master Plan of Mohali has been recently extended up to 114 sectors.

Cricket Stadium
In 1992, the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) unveiled a plan to build a state of the art facility complete with a separate practice ground - to be built in a swampy area in Mohali. The PCA invested heavily in the ground, a swimming pool, health club, tennis court, library, restaurant, and bar and outdoor & indoor cricket practice nets were incorporated into the plans.
