Before visiting

A documented geological exposure is not collecting permission. Chandigarh contains reserve forests, Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary, urban public land, drainage corridors and regulated mineral/sand contexts. Verify current land status, Forest/Wildlife restrictions and site-specific authority before removing any rock, fossil, sand, gravel, clay or other material.
