Punjab Chief Minister announced that a newly constructed road and adjacent park in New Chandigarh will be named after the late Colonel Manpreet Singh.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann officially declared that a newly laid out road and the adjoining public park in the emerging township of New Chandigarh will bear the name of Colonel Manpreet Singh. The decision was announced during a ceremony attended by local officials and members of the defence community.
Colonel Manpreet Singh, a senior officer of the Indian Army, is being honoured for his distinguished service to the nation.
