Chandigarh, December 2
Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Chandigarh on Monday evening, followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 3, to review the implementation of three newly introduced criminal laws aimed at modernising India’s justice system. Chandigarh holds the distinction of being the first city in India to achieve 100% implementation of the new laws.
The event, scheduled at Punjab Engineering College (PEC) in Sector 12, will include discussions on enforcement, judicial procedures, and evidence management. Newly recruited Indian Police Service (IPS) officers from across the country are expected to attend, with Chandigarh Police presenting insights into integrating technology with law enforcement. Officials anticipate over 5,000 attendees during the Prime Minister’s three-hour visit.
The UT Administration has declared Chandigarh a “no-flying zone” from December 2 to 3.
The Traffic restrictions will be in place in Chandigarh on Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon to ensure smooth movement during the visit of Prime Minister and Home Minister.
