Union Home Minister Shah To Visit Chandigarh On November 1

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to visit Chandigarh on November 1. He will attend a grand ceremony marking the 60th Raising Day of the Chandigarh Police, to be held at Tiranga Park in Sector 17. The administration is busy with preparations for this proposed visit, and security agencies have also become active.

The Chandigarh Police was reorganized when Chandigarh became a Union Territory on November 1, 1966. In this context, the Raising Day holds special significance. This is why the Union Home Minister will attend as the chief guest; he will take the salute at a grand parade.

Furthermore, the administration anticipates that the Home Minister might make a significant announcement during the event that could provide relief to the residents of Chandigarh. Currently, a proposal to grant ownership rights to residents living in houses within rehabilitation colonies has been submitted to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. Additionally, several matters concerning local industrialists are also pending with the Ministry.
