Run for Unity on 150th birth anniv of Sardar Patel: Vij

Haryana’s Energy, Transport, and Labour Minister Anil Vij, said the “Run for Unity” programme will be organised across all four mandals of Ambala Cantonment on October 31 to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of India’s Iron Man, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Vij was presiding over a meeting of BJP Ambala Cantonment’s Core Committee, along with various office-bearers and representatives, at the PWD Rest House in Ambala Cantonment on Sunday.

He said Sardar Patel was the architect of united India. With his exceptional vision and firm determination, the Iron Man of India integrated 563 princely states into the Republic of India, thereby strengthening national unity. Vij added that the “Run for Unity” would be organised separately in all four mandals of the BJP Ambala Cantonment — Sadar Mandal, Mahesh Nagar Mandal, Gramin Mandal, and Shastri Mandal. As part of the programme, padyatras (foot marches) will also be conducted.

Committees have been constituted for the successful organisation of the event, with Lalta Prasad, Sanjeev Soni, Vijender Chauhan, Ravi Buddhiraja, Vikas Bahgal, Pravesh Sharma and Harsh Bindra appointed as members. Vij also issued directions regarding preparations and coordination for the event.

During the meeting, the minister also reviewed the progress of various ongoing development works in Ambala Cantonment. The committees were formed to monitor works such as road construction, drainage development, culvert repairs, and streetlight maintenance in different areas.

The meeting also included a detailed discussion on various development projects and organisational matters related to Ambala Cantonment.
