Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the 24x7 Manimajra water supply project in Chandigarh. Punjab Governor and Union Territory Chandigarh Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria were also present at the event.
The Rs 75 crore project, part of the Smart City mission, aims to benefit over one lakh residents of Manimajra, including those in the Modern Housing Complex, Shivalik Enclave, Indira Colony, and Shastri Nagar.
