NEW DELHI: The ministry of home affairs on Sunday clarified that the central government had no intention to introduce any bill to “alter Chandigarh’s governance or administrative structure” in the upcoming Winter Session of Parliament. This came after a political row erupted over its plans to place Chandigarh under Article 240 of the Constitution through the 131st Amendment Bill in the upcoming winter session, bringing it in line with UTs such as the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu.“The proposal only to simplify the Central Government’s law-making process for the Union Territory of Chandigarh is still under consideration with the Central Government. No final decision has been taken on this proposal. The proposal in no way seeks to alter Chandigarh’s governance or administrative structure, nor does it aim to change the traditional arrangements between Chandigarh and the States of Punjab or Haryana,” MHA said in a statement.“A suitable decision will be taken only after adequate consultations with all stakeholders, keeping in mind the interests of Chandigarh. There is no need for any concern on this matter. The Central Government has no intention of introducing any Bill to this effect in the upcoming Winter Session of Parliament,” it added.
