Yamuna Nagar needs lot of development.
The roads are in a very poor condition. This causes lot of issues. All villages are not accessible.
Most of the villages have no electricity. The irony is Yamuna Nagar has a thermal power plant still many villages are in the dark. There is frequent load shedding.
The funds for the development of Yamuna Nagar are not utilized appropriately.
Pollution has also increased to a large extent.
