Chandigarh rejects Haryana’s land swap deal

Hindustan Times  

The UT administration has rejected Haryana’s land swap deal for building the latter’s new assembly complex after finding that the land being offered to it does not align with its urban planning principles, officials privy to the internal discussions have revealed. Former senior standing counsel for UT administration, Anupam Gupta said the UT administration’s offer to sell land to Haryana for its new assembly building could raise thorny legal issues. The AAP government in Punjab had submitted a memorandum to governor Kataria, stating, “Chandigarh belongs solely to Punjab and not an inch of land will be allowed to be given to Haryana for the construction of its assembly building in the UT.” Responding to this, Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini had said, “I want to tell the leaders of Punjab that Haryana is Punjab’s younger brother. First, they stopped SYL water and now they are raking up the Vidhan Sabha issue.” Following this, Punjab governor and UT administrator Gulab Chand Kataria had said that no land has been allotted to Haryana.
