Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Amarinder Singh on Sunday announced a special grant of Rs 25 Lakh for the development and up-gradation of the Sikh Regiment Centre at Chandimandir.
The CM made the announcement during the Baisakhi Lunch 2018, hosted by the Sikh Regiment at the Khetarpal Officers’ Institute (KOI) at the Chandimandir Military Station.
Nostalgically recalling his association with the Indian Army, Amarinder Singh reiterated his personal commitment to the welfare of the soldiers and ex-servicemen. He said the grant would help in the development and up-gradation of the sports infrastructure and other related facilities at the Centre. He also reaffirmed his government’s commitment to extend all possible assistance to the defence personnel and their families.
