Senior Shiromani Akali Dal chief Daljit Singh Cheema had on Saturday tweeted, “MOH’s (Ministry of House Affairs) choice to impose central executive laws on workers of Chandigarh is in violation of the spirit of the Punjab Reorg (Reorganisation) Act and will have to be reconsidered.

Political leaders have claimed that in line with the BBMB Regulations, 1974, the member (energy) in BBMB will have to be from Punjab and the member (irrigation) from Haryana, however the requirement has been got rid of within the amended laws.
