VP Singh Badnore, Governor of Punjab and Administrator of Chandigarh, on Tuesday urged residents to come forward for the development of the city.

While addressing the Independence Day function at Parade Ground here, Badnore asked the residents to unite together and take the city from the path of the smart to being smarter.

Badnore unfurled the national flag on the occasion. He promised the residents to make Chandigarh the most-livable city in the country by providing first class facilities to the residents.

He said the initiative for supplying the 24X7 water has begun and the administration will achieve the target soon.

Badnore recounted several initiatives the administration had taken in the last one year for the development of the city. He said affordable houses will be provided for various categories of the residents under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.

The other projects Badnore mentioned in his speech include upgradation of Sector 17 under smart city projects, online single window system for the industries, open air gym, new government schools, better transport facilities, Annapurna Akhshyapatra Yojna, Kalam Express, promotion of the digital payment and steps taken by the police to provide security for the residents particularly women.

He also lauded the schemes like self defence training programme for the women, Operation Muskan and online admission scheme of the education department.

The thrilling performance of the Air Force Warriors was the main attraction on the occasion.

The administrator announced holiday in all the government and private schools in the city tomorrow.
