The N-choe originates near Punjab Civil Secretariat in sector 2, Chandigarh and passes through Bougainvillea Park in sector 3, Leisure valley park in sector 10, Rose Garden and Shanti Kunj Garden in sector 16 and then through sectors 23, 36, 42, 53, next to village Kajheri in sector 52, next to Burail Jail in sector 51 in Chandigarh.

From sector 51 in Chandigarh, N Choe enters Mohali and goes through the sectors 62, 63 Phase 9, 67, 81 and to the Chilla Manauli village. The stream then flows towards Patiala district and enters the Ghaggar river in Haryana.[3]


Pollution


On 31 July 2010, Punjab Pollution Control Board reported that effluents discharged in N-Choe from Chandigarh were beyond the permissible limit. The analysis revealed that pollution levels such as BOD-150 mg/1 and COD 320 mg/1 was found to be more than the permissible limit of 30 mg/1 and 250 mg/1, respectively.[4] Mohali residents complained that the N-choe was not properly protected and that sewage was found in the water.[5]
