Punjab CM Capt Amarinder Singh today urged PM Narendra Modi to clear the state’s proposal for Rs 937-crore projects, including the development of Anandpur Sahib as Smart City, to pay befitting tribute to 9th Guru Sri Guru Teg Bahadur whose 400th Prakash Purb is being celebrated this year.

The Motera stadium has been renamed to Narendra Modi stadium
New Delhi:
The surprise renaming of the revamped Motera cricket stadium in Gujarat after Prime Minister Narendra Modi today caused a flood of reactions on social media. The largest cricket ground in the world was launched by President Ram Nath Kovind and has a capacity of 1,10,000.
What was earlier referred to the Motera Stadium or the Sardar Patel Stadium will now be called the Narendra Modi stadium. The stadium will be a part of the planned Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave in the city.
Amid controversy over the renaming, the government said the name change involves only the Motera Stadium and the entire sports complex continues to be named after Sardar Patel.
