Anandpur Sahib, Talwandi Sabo and Galiara, close to Golden Temple in Amritsar declared 'holy cities'

CHANDIGARH: The cities of Anandpur Sahib, Talwandi Sabo and the Galiara around the Golden Temple in Amritsar have been accorded the status of 'holy cities' in the special Vidhan Sabha session at Anandpur Sahib to mark the 350th martyrdom day of Guru Teg Bahadur. This is the first time in the history of the State that a session was held outside the assembly building in Chandigarh. The resolution was moved by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann during a special session of the Punjab Assembly and was unanimously passed. Mann said that along with this, an interfaith committee related to all religious institutions in these holy cities will be formed, comprising representatives of all faiths. He said that the Punjab Government will make dedicated efforts for the development, cleanliness, security, and promotion of religious tourism in these holy cities. He also said that the state government will allocate the necessary budget, and also seek funds from the Central Government, as this is imperative to perpetuate the legacy of these towns for the next generations. Meanwhile, Mann said that as a humble tribute to Guru Tegh Bahadur, the State government has organised a series of events across the State to commemorate the 350th martyrdom day. He said that todays session was part of these events, only adding that the sacrifice made by Guru Tegh Bahadur was supreme and unprecedented, as it was aimed at protecting the religion of others. He said that Guru Tegh Bahadur made the supreme sacrifice to protect the religious rights of humanity to set an example for the world. Mann said that these functions will continue and be held across the State in the coming years, too. He added that every year, events will be organised to mark the martyrdom day. He also remarked that the State government has made elaborate arrangements for facilitating the devotees coming to the holy city to pay their reverence. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and National Convener of AAP Arvind Kejriwal said that for decades, people have been seeking holy city status for these towns. They said that there are five Takhts of Sikhs, out of which three are Akal Takht (Amritsar), Damdama Sahib (Talwandi Sabo, Bathinda) and Takht Keshgarh Sahib (Anandpur Sahib). They said that the sale and use of meat, liquor, tobacco, and other intoxicants will be prohibited in these cities to fulfil the long-pending demand of the devotees. They also said that these cities are not just religious centres but also symbols of our civilizational heritage, adding that, therefore, this demand is not confined to any single political party, community, or religion, but rather an essential step towards the preservation and global promotion of our cultural heritage. Kejriwal and Mann said that the state government will ensure the holistic development of these cities, besides accelerating religious tourism. Earlier, the House also passed another resolution to draw inspiration from Guru Tegh Bahadur's life and teachings to work towards the welfare and prosperity of the people of Punjab, promoting peace, tolerance and harmony in society. According to a resolution moved by Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains, the House expressed its deepest reverence and humbly bowed down to the Sikh Guru in respect, devotion and faith. Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa also spoke about the supreme sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadur, saying it is a moving testament to his unwavering commitment to the principles of freedom of religion and human dignity. Notably, Bajwa raised the issues of Chandigarh, Panjab University, the pending rural development fund and the water sharing issue and said all Punjabis should come together for the state's rights. In a veiled attack on the BJP-led Centre, Bajwa said attempts were being made to ewrite history. A makeshift assembly hall was created at Bhai Jaita Ji Memorial Park in Anandpur Sahib for the special session, replicating the Punjab Vidhan Sabha in Chandigarh. The state government is organising an elaborate three-day event from November 23 to 25 to commemorate the ninth Sikh masters martyrdom in 1675. On November 25, the government will organise state-wide blood donation and plantation drives, Sarbat Da Bhalla congregation and a drone show. The events are also dedicated to Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dyala, who were also martyred along with the Guru. A 360-degree mixed reality (MR) experience has been introduced by the government, aiming at bringing Guru Teg Bahadurs legacy closer to the younger generation. Thus, QR codes have been placed at the event venue, which will allow visitors to access the MR experience through a smartphone scan, bridging technology and spiritual devotion. The interactive journey blends virtual storytelling with real-world surroundings to portray key episodes from the life of the ninth Sikh Guru. The MR layer has been developed with the support of Flam, and the augmented reality technology creates immersive visuals while highlighting the teachings and sacrifice of Guru Teg Bahadur. The central feature of the experience, entitled The Eternal Flame of Sacrifice, recreates 11 significant moments from the Gurus life. These include his coronation, standing for religious freedom, his martyrdom at Chandni Chowk, and the secret cremation at Rakab Ganj Sahib. Each segment is presented with detailed visuals, authentic narration, and references from the Guru Granth Sahib and preserved historical records.

Tejas pilot Wing Commander Namansh Syal cremated with full military honours

CHANDIGARH: The mortal remains of Wing Commander Namansh Syal, the Indian Air Force pilot who died in a Tejas fighter jet crash at the Dubai Air Show , were laid to rest with full military honours at his native village, Patialkhad near Yol in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. From the airport, his mortal remains were taken to Patialkhad, where villagers, family members and officials gathered to pay emotional tributes as the last rites were performed with full military honours. The atmosphere was filled with patriotic fervour as locals chanted Bharat Mata Ki Jai and Jab tak suraj chand rahega, Nammu bhai ka naam rahega, referring to Syal by his nickname. In an emotional moment, Squadron Leader Afshan, in uniform, stood beside her husbands coffin and offered a final salute as her eyes filled with tears, a gesture symbolising both love and unshakeable service to the nation. Meanwhile, his mother Veena Devi clung to the coffin of her son. A cousin of Syal lit his pyre. In tears, his father Jagan Nath, an ex-serviceman and former principal with the Himachal Pradesh Education Department, said, The country has lost a remarkable pilot, I have lost my son. I have now to be brave and take care of myself and the family. When I asked him about the air show he told me to watch on YouTube. Remembering his son, Nath added, From LKG till he completed his education he was never slapped by me. In whichever competition he took part he always stood first. He had also won the national talent scholar competition. His parents were in Hyderabad to meet him when the tragedy allegedly struck. Meanwhile, his uncle Madan Lal said, All villagers are waiting here. Some relatives have also arrived. The last rites will be performed today. This is a great loss for the country. He was exceptionally honest and straightforward. Possible g-force blackout: Expert on Tejas crash; pilots father says he learnt of sons death from YouTube Locals described Syal as a gem and the pride of their village and school. Pankaj Chadha, who studied with him at Sainik School Sujanpur Tira, said they had lost one of our gems, as Syal was the pride of their school. We will go to his native village, Patialkhad as he made all of us very proud, he said. Everyone in Patialkhad is grieving. He was like a younger brother to us. This should not have happened. We met him just three to four months ago when he visited the village, said local resident Sandeep Kumar. A highly skilled fighter pilot with an exemplary service record, Syal was posted at the Hyderabad airbase. His mortal remains were flown from Coimbatore to Kangra in a special Air Force aircraft, in which his wife, Wing Commander Afshan, their seven-year-old daughter Arayana and his parents, Jagannath Syal and Veena Devi, accompanied him. He had visited the village four months ago. His elder sister works with the Education Department. Ayush Minister Yadvinder Goma was also present during the cremation. He termed the loss unbearable for both the state and the country and assured the family of the governments unwavering support. Nagrota Bagwan MLA R S Bali, who holds cabinet rank as chairman of the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation, was present at the airport on behalf of the state government to receive the body. Syal joined the IAF after clearing the National Defence Academy exam in 2009. He had studied at a primary school in Dalhousie, Army Public School in Yol cantonment, and Sainik School in Sujanpur Tira.

No final decision on Chandigarh proposal, no change in administrative structure: MHA

The Union Home Ministry on Sunday clarified that no final decision has been taken on a proposal concerning the process of making laws for the Union Territory of Chandigarh. MHA said that the proposal, currently under consideration, does not seek to alter Chandigarhs governance framework or its long-standing arrangements with Punjab and Haryana. Chandigarh serves as the joint capital of both states. In an official statement, the Home Ministry said the proposal is aimed solely at simplifying the central governments law-making process for the Union Territory of Chandigarh. The ministry emphasised that fears of administrative restructuring or dilution of existing ties with Punjab and Haryana were misplaced. The proposal only to simplify the Central Governments 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 Chandigarhs PIB - Ministry of Home Affairs (@PIBHomeAffairs) November 23, 2025 Allaying concerns raised by political leaders in Punjab, the proposal in no way seeks to alter Chandigarhs governance or administrative structure, the statement said. 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 ministry further clarified that the Centre has no intention of introducing any such Bill in the upcoming Winter Session of Parliament. Concerns emerged after a Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha bulletin mentioned a proposal to bring Chandigarh under Article 240 of the Constitution. Article 240 empowers the President to frame regulations and legislate directly for certain Union Territories. If implemented, it could potentially allow for the appointment of an independent administrator for Chandigarh, similar to the arrangement that existed when the UT had its own Chief Secretary in earlier years. The mention triggered sharp reactions from political parties, including the Congress, Shiromani Akali Dal, and the Aam Aadmi Party, who viewed the proposal as a move that might affect Punjabs stake in the Union Territory. The Home Ministry said that the proposal remains under examination and assured that any step forward will follow due consultation and transparency. (With inputs from PTI)

Agarkar & Co. Slated To Meet In Mumbai To Select Indias Squads For White-ball Games Against SA

BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: The senior mens selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, is scheduled to convene in Mumbai on Sunday to select Indias squads for the upcoming white-ball series against South Africa, said sources to IANS. Agarkar, along with RP Singh and BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, were in Guwahati on Saturday to attend day one of the second Test against South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. But IANS understands that the trio left for Mumbai from Guwahati on Sunday for the selection committee meeting at the BCCI headquarters. Yes, the selection meeting is today in Mumbai, after being initially presumed that it would happen in Guwahati. It is understood that other members are also travelling to Mumbai for it, further said the sources. Following the conclusion of the two-match Test series, India will play against South Africa in three ODIs, to be played in Ranchi, Raipur and Visakhapatnam and five T20Is set to take place in Cuttack, New Chandigarh, Dharamsala, Lucknow and Ahmedabad. The discussion in the Agarkar-led panel is expected to centre a lot on who could lead the side for the ODI series against the Proteas. Theres a leadership vacuum in the 50-over set-up as captain Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer are unavailable due to neck and spleen injuries. With Gill also consulting Mumbai-based spinal surgeon Dr Abhay Nene for his neck injury recovery, it also puts him as a doubtful starter for the T20Is against South Africa, starting on December 9. IANS understands that theres a leadership toss-up between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, with more discussions expected to happen in the selection committees meeting. Rahul has led India previously in ODIs and was the captain when the side beat South Africa in the 50-over series in 2023. Pant, on the other hand, is captaining India in the ongoing second Test in Guwahati, but hasnt been a first-choice starter in the 50-over set-up due to Rahuls presence. In Gills absence, Yashasvi Jaiswal could partner with Rohit Sharma at the top. IANS understands that theres a leadership toss-up between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, with more discussions expected to happen in the selection committees meeting. Rahul has led India previously in ODIs and was the captain when the side beat South Africa in the 50-over series in 2023. Also Read: Live Cricket Score For the T20I series against the Proteas, barring Gill, the majority of the squad is likely to be on the expected lines. It would be interesting to see if Hardik Pandya is included, with the seam-bowling all-rounder on rehab mode for a quad injury recovery at the BCCI CoE in Bengaluru. Article Source: IANS

Delhi blast: White-collar terror module stockpiled explosives for two years, NIA probe reveals

CHANDIGARH: The investigations into the Faridabad white collar terror module linked to the Delhi blast case have reportedly revealed that the network spent nearly two years procuring explosives and remote-triggering devices. Sources claimed that one of the accused, Dr Muzammil Ganaie, during questioning by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), has reportedly admitted that 26 quintals of NPK fertilizer was procured from Gurugram and Nuh in Haryana. It was allegedly converted into explosive material under the supervision of Umar un-Nabi, who also arranged remote detonators and circuitry for the devices, as he handled the technical part of the operation. The explosives were prepared meticulously over a long period, as they were not built overnight. An official, on condition of anonymity, said, Ganaie was sourcing fertilizer and other precursor chemicals, and this material was bought for approximately Rs 3 lakh. Ammonium nitrate and urea were also stockpiled. It is learnt that Muzammil left a grinding machine and another machine used to melt metal at a taxi drivers house in Dhauj village. The driver was later detained by the NIA along with the machines. Questioning has revealed that the network spent nearly two years procuring explosives and remote-triggering devices. Sources claimed that the worrying factor is that the terrorists seem to have figured out a mix of incendiary chemicals and ammonium nitrate that lowers the kindling temperature of the improvised explosive device fabricated by this terror module. A day before the blast, a joint team of J&K and Faridabad police had seized 360 kg ammonium nitrate and other explosive material from a rented room of Dr Muzammil at Dhauj village. Additionally, 2,900 kg ammonium nitrate was recovered, clearly indicating the modules plan to carry out a major operation. So far, three doctors, Ganaie, Shahid and Adeel Rather, have been arrested. Muzaffar Rather, suspected to be part of the same network, is believed to be in Afghanistan, complicating efforts to bring him into custody. Meanwhile, authorities are also searching for Nissar ul-Hassan, a colleague of the accused at Al-Falah Medical College, where several of the suspects worked together. Sources claimed that Rs 26 lakh was allegedly raised among five doctors to finance the conspiracy. While Ganaie reportedly contributed Rs 5 lakh, Adeel Ahmad Rather Rs 8 lakh and Muzaffar Ahmad Rather Rs 6 lakh, Shaheen Shahid Rs 5 lakh and Dr Umar Un-Nabi Mohammad Rs 2 lakh. The entire amount was handed over to Umar. It is further alleged that Muzammil and Umar were involved in a fight at the university over the funds, witnessed by several students.
