Amarinder Singh writes to Rajnath Singh, asks to make Chandigarh capital of Punjab

Deccan Chronicle  

Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh wrote to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh reiterating his demand for making Chandigarh the capital of the state. In his letter to the Home Minister, Singh said the pending territorial dispute should be solved by restoring Chandigarh to Punjab, being its legitimate and original capital. Nevertheless, subsequent to the Punjab Reorganization Act, 1966, territorial dispute remains unresolved, Singh said as he sought Rajnath Singh's intervention to ensure the "fine balance" of sharing of resources between Haryana and Punjab is not disturbed. "During this period a fine balance in sharing officers/officials and other resources of Union Territory, Chandigarh between Haryana and Punjab has been achieved with an advantage of hard earned peace in Punjab," Singh said.
