The village has a large size village pond which contain water for most of the period of the year. In winter this pond attracts a large number of migrant birds. But area of this pond has now been acquired by Punjab Government along with other area of village to develop well known township of [[Mohali]] known as [[Aerocity City]]{{fact|date=January 2021}} and this pond is likely to be abolished possibly to develop the commercial complex here .
