Chandigarh remains a hot topic! Recent political chatter suggested the Central government was prepping a bill to shake up the city’s governance, potentially bringing it under Article 240 of the Constitution. This sparked concerns, especially regarding Punjab’s long-standing claims to the city.
But hold up! The Union Home Ministry has officially clarified: there are NO plans to introduce any such bill in the upcoming Parliament session. This should ease some nerves and put those rumors to rest.
For those unfamiliar, Article 240 deals with the administration of Union Territories. The speculation was that applying it to Chandigarh could alter the power dynamics between the Centre, the city administration, and neighboring states.
What does this mean for you? Well, for now, it’s business as usual in Chandigarh. But it’s a reminder that political landscapes are always shifting, and keeping an eye on these developments is crucial.
