Punjab Government Names New Chandigarh Road After Colonel Manpreet Singh

The Punjab state government has announced that a newly built road in the union territory of Chandigarh will bear the name of Colonel Manpreet Singh. The decision reflects the administration's intent to honour the late army officer for his service to the nation. The road, which forms part of Chandigarh's expanding infrastructure, will now be identified by his name in all official records and signage. Authorities said the naming underscores the respect Punjab holds for its defence personnel and aims to inspire the public. Further details on the exact location and inauguration schedule will be communicated by the state’s public relations office.

The move has been welcomed by local residents and veteran groups, who view it as a fitting tribute to a soldier from the region. The naming aligns with a broader trend of commemorating defence heroes through public landmarks across the country.

No additional ceremonies have been scheduled at this stage, but the government has indicated that a formal unveiling may be organized in the coming weeks.
