Bill to allow prez make legislations for Chandigarh directly to be brought in Parliament session
The Centre has proposed to include the Union territory of Chandigarh under the ambit of Article 240 of the Constitution, which empowers the president to make regulations for the UT and legislate directly.
This could pave the way for the appointment of an independent administrator in Chandigarh, like when it had an independent chief secretary in the past, a move that evoked sharp reactions from Congress, Akali Dal and AAP.
The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill 2025 will be introduced in the upcoming Winter session of Parliament, beginning December 1, 2025, according to a bulletin of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
