We oppose beating of old drum by Punjab CM


We oppose beating of old drum by Punjab CM
National Tele24 News
Chandigarh
   Even after existence of 75 years and even after being a UT for the last more than 50 years we re residents of Chandigarh are facing the same old song every now and then .After going through the documents and discussion done on record before creation of UT 1966 there is not iota of any such arrangement. While making Chandigarh UT and temporary capitals of two states meetings was held and on record arrangements were made for new UT. After that the Punjab Reorganization Act 1966 came into existence. In all these records and various other orders issued after wards there is no such orders. It is sheer political move only and all these CM belonging to all political parties always demand their share of Chandigarh without any responsibility. We request Punjab CM to make public any document which supports his demand of 60:40 in case of deputations to Chandigarh UT. From the records available with me it is observed that making of Chandigarh capital of two states was a arrangement done in 1966. As such we the residents of Chandigarh aged about 75 years stake our claim on this UT and as and when any decision making meeting is called to settle claims and counter claims the voice of Chandigarh should be heard by Central Goyt. and till than present arrangement may be allowed to continue. Just to reconfirm the documents and find out if there is anything at all to support claims of the both states I have filed RTI Applications with Central, Punjab, Haryana Govt. and UT Administration to put the details in Public Domain for which our Second Innings Association will be organizing a talk on “Save Chandigarh” by eminent residents of Chandigarh .
