Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Friday declared Malerkotla as the 23rd district of the state while announcing a slew of projects for the development of the historic city. He made these announcements during the state-level celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr held virtually in view of the pandemic situation.
On the occasion, Amarinder Singh underscored India s secular character, which he said was manifested in the defeat of communal forces in the recent Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
