New Delhi, November 23,2025: The Ministry of Home Affairs on Sunday dismissed speculation surrounding changes to Chandigarh’s administrative structure, confirming that the Central government has no plan to introduce any bill on the issue in the upcoming Winter Session of Parliament.
In a detailed clarification, the ministry said that the ongoing proposal is limited to easing the process of law-making for the Union Territory. Officials noted that the proposal is still under scrutiny within the Central government and that “no final decision” has been reached so far.
The statement comes amid heightened political activity in Punjab, where opposition leaders and state parties had raised concerns over reports suggesting Chandigarh could be brought under Article 240 through a constitutional amendment. The possibility had triggered sharp reactions, with leaders across parties urging the Centre to protect Punjab’s historical claims over the city.
The MHA’s clarification is expected to defuse the tension building over the last few days, even as the Centre continues to examine ways to streamline legislative procedures for Chandigarh.
