Chandigarh MC Proposes Budget for Rose Festival and Manimajra Fire Safety Upgrade
Chandigarh Municipal Corporation plans to spend over Rs 1.32 crore from its own budget on the 55th Rose Festival in March 2027 after failing to secure sponsorships. The three-day event will feature various competitions and cultural programs. Separately, the MC has proposed a Rs 62.80 lakh fire safety upgrade for its Manimajra sub-office, which currently lacks a firefighting system, delaying fire clearance and electricity connection approvals. Both proposals will be considered at the General House meeting on October 28.
