Capt agrees for renaming Phagwara’s Gol Chowk as Samvidhan Chowk

Directing the Phagwara District Administration to ensure the best possible medical treatment for the victims of April 13 clashes, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Tuesday gave in-principle approval for renaming the city’s Gol Chowk as Samvidhan (Constitution) Chowk.

Chief Minister, who met a delegation of Dalit Samaj including the families of violence-affected, was apprised that the Phagwara Muncipal Corporation had already moved a resolution for renaming the chowk.

“There is nothing wrong in naming the roundabout as Samvidhan Chowk, as our Constitution does not belong to any particular caste or creed and we all Indians are proud of it,” he said while directing the local administration to follow proper procedure for renaming the chowk.

Responding to the request of the family members of Yashwant Bobby, who sustained serious bullet injuries, the Chief Minister said that it was the duty of his government to ensure best possible treatment for him.
