What Is City Darpan?
City Darpan is Chandigarh's local Hindi daily — a newspaper that holds up a mirror to the Tricity's daily life, news and community events. "Darpan" (mirror) captures the newspaper's role as the Chandigarh community's own daily voice — covering local politics, Chandigarh administration, the PGIMER medical corridor, Tricity property market, Chandigarh education institutions and the civic affairs of Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali in depth.
As a city-focused newspaper, City Darpan reaches the local Hindi-reading residential community of the Tricity with high engagement on classified advertising categories — property (by sector, phase and area), local jobs, vehicles, lost & found, and matrimonial. The P&H High Court at Chandigarh accepts City Darpan for Hindi statutory legal notice publications — a practical and cost-effective platform for Tricity-specific legal, property and company law notices where a full national-paper rate is not necessary.
