Won't bring C'garh bill in winter sitting: Centre

Hindustan Times

|

November 24, 2025

The Centre on Sunday said that it will not introduce any bill related to Chandigarh in the upcoming winter session of Parliament, in a clarification that was welcomed by the Punjab government.

- HT Correspondent

The home ministry issued the clarification amid reports that the Union government is preparing to introduce The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2025 in the upcoming winter session of Parliament, a move that could significantly alter Chandigarh’s administrative structure.

The report led to protests as the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab, the opposition Congress and the SAD, said such a move would snatch Chandigarh from Punjab.

But the home ministry clarified that a proposal to simplify the Centre's law-making process for Chandigarh is still under consideration, no final decision has been taken and that such a decision will be taken only after consultation with stakeholders while keeping in mind the interests of Chandigarh.
