Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday underlined that “Shaheed-E-Azam Bhagat Singh is a national martyr, and nobody should have objections over naming the Chandigarh airport after him”. The statement came a day after Manohar Lal Khattar, chief minister of the airport’s partner state Haryana, reportedly disagreed with the idea. “Bhagat Singh is not a martyr of Punjab alone. Hopefully, the Haryana CM will agree,” Amarinder said, interacting with the media on the sidelines of the passing-out function at Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Police Academy in Phillaur on Wednesday. Rupinderdeep Kaur was declared all-round first among probationary DSPs, Sarabjeet Kaur among the SIs, Rimpledeep Kaur in the intelligence category, while S-I Rinku stood all-round first in IT.
