OUR CITY, OUR SHARED HOME: A PERSONAL APPEAL FOR A CLEANER, KINDER MOHALI

OUR CITY, OUR SHARED HOME: A PERSONAL APPEAL FOR A CLEANER, KINDER MOHALI 

SAS Nagar (Mohali),
 March 2026:
 Since I stepped into my role as Joint Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation in late November 2025, I have spent many mornings and evenings traversing the beautiful streets of SAS Nagar. While I see a city of vibrant growth and progress, I also see a troubling contradiction that we, as a community, must address—not just with rules, but with a fundamental change in our attitude. 

We often treat our homes as sanctuaries, sweeping every speck of dust out the door. However, the moment that garbage hits the road, we seem to forget that the road, too, is part of our home. It is the very ground where our children grow, where we nurture our families, and where we seek to thrive. By doing this, we are not only inviting diseases and infections but also neglecting the dignity of our fellow citizens who work to keep our environment clean. 

*The Human Cost of 'Out of Sight, Out of Mind'*

Our history and faith offer us powerful reminders of how we should treat those who maintain our surroundings: 

• Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, our first Guru, taught us that the Divine stands with those who earn an honest living through hard work and integrity. He placed the dignity of the 'ordinary' person far above the vanity of those who accumulate wealth through indifference to others. 

• Sardar Bhagat Singh, while imprisoned, showed us the ultimate respect for service. He called the person who cleaned his cell 'mother,' noting that only a mother cleans one's filth with such selflessness. To him, the person performing the humblest task was worthy of the highest familial respect. 

When we refuse to segregate our waste, we are asking a fellow human being to dig through our mixed filth with their bare hands. When we leave a public toilet in a state we wouldn't tolerate at home, we are disregarding the dignity of the brothers and sisters tasked with cleaning it. 

*A Tale of Two Attitudes*

 Recently, during an inspection at the Resource Management Centre (RMC) in Sector 77, I witnessed something deeply symbolic of our current challenges. A well-dressed couple had traveled over 4 kilometers from Sector 80 on a brand-new bike, specifically to dump their garbage in an open space near the center. Instead of handing over segregated waste to an authorized collector, they risked their health, wasted petrol, and ventured into a pile of garbage just to dispose of their waste improperly. 

If they had simply segregated at source—using green waste for fertilizer and separating paper or plastic for the local Kabadi Walla—they would have enriched their own plants, supported a livelihood, and ensured the garbage collector retained his dignity. Instead, they were issued a challan and pleaded for mercy, though the real loss was the lack of civic pride.

*The Way Forward:*
A Partnership of Pride For our residents living in flats and large complexes, you are 'Bulk Waste Generators.' Under the law and our shared civic ethics, you have the power to process your waste at source and lead the way in sustainability. My appeal to you is simple: Stop the burning of waste, segregate at source, and treat every sweeper and collector as a partner in Mohali’s success. 

The Municipal Corporation and its team are working tirelessly, but we are only the hands. You are the soul of Mohali. Let us join together to make our city not just the cleanest in the country, but the most compassionate.

विपक्ष के पास आम आदमी पार्टी सरकार का विरोध करने के लिए नहीं बचा कोई मुद्दा : कुलवंत सिंह



विपक्ष के पास आम आदमी पार्टी सरकार का विरोध करने के लिए नहीं बचा कोई मुद्दा : कुलवंत सिंह

साहिबजादा अजीत सिंह नगर, 7 मार्च : 

मुख्यमंत्री तीर्थ यात्रा स्कीम के तहत मोहाली विधानसभा क्षेत्र से तीर्थ यात्रा के लिए 9वीं बस को विधायक कुलवंत सिंह ने हरी झंडी दिखाकर रवाना किया। सेक्टर-68 और कुंभरा से श्रद्धालुओं से भरी इस बस को रवाना करते हुए विधायक कुलवंत सिंह ने पत्रकारों से बातचीत करते हुए कहा कि मुख्यमंत्री भगवंत सिंह मान की सोच के अनुसार यह योजना सफलतापूर्वक आगे बढ़ रही है और श्रद्धालुओं में धार्मिक यात्रा पर जाने को लेकर काफी उत्साह देखने को मिल रहा है।

उन्होंने कहा कि इस यात्रा के तहत बूथ के हिसाब से बसें भेजी जा रही हैं और आने वाले समय में और भी बसें तीर्थ यात्रा के लिए रवाना की जाएंगी। इस यात्रा के दौरान श्रद्धालु जहां धार्मिक स्थलों के दर्शन करेंगे, वहीं देश की आजादी के लिए कुर्बानी देने वाले वीरों से जुड़े जलियांवाला बाग को भी देख सकेंगे। इसके अलावा श्रद्धालु वाघा बॉर्डर पर जाकर यह भी देख पाएंगे कि देश की सीमाओं पर जवान किस तरह रात-दिन देश की रक्षा करते हैं, ताकि देश के लोग चैन की नींद सो सकें।

विधायक कुलवंत सिंह ने कहा कि अब विपक्षी पार्टियों के पास आम आदमी पार्टी सरकार के खिलाफ उठाने के लिए कोई मुद्दा नहीं बचा है, क्योंकि आम आदमी से किए गए अधिकांश वादे और गारंटियां पूरी की जा चुकी हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि पार्टी के संयोजक अरविंद केजरीवाल और मुख्यमंत्री भगवंत सिंह मान ने लोगों से जो वादे किए थे, उन्हें लगातार पूरा किया जा रहा है और आगामी बजट सत्र के दौरान महिलाओं को 1000 रुपये प्रति माह देने की गारंटी की घोषणा भी होने जा रही है।

उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि पंजाब सरकार ने राज्य के लोगों को राहत देते हुए बिजली को 1.50 रुपये प्रति यूनिट सस्ता कर दिया है।

इस मौके पर जसवीर कौर अटली, फूलराज सिंह (हल्का कोऑर्डिनेटर), रमनप्रीत कौर (हल्का कोऑर्डिनेटर महिला विंग), हरमेश सिंह (ब्लॉक प्रेसिडेंट), राजेंद्र प्रसाद शर्मा, चरणजीत कौर, करनैल सिंह (प्रेसिडेंट गुरुद्वारा मैनेजमेंट कमेटी), चंचल सिंघला, सुरिंदर सिंह, जरनैल सिंह, दविंदर मोहन सिंह और एच.एस. वालिया भी मौजूद थे।

*Department of Forests & Wildlife, UT Chandigarh organized the technical Workshop for Dead/Dangerous & Hollow Trees for Schools.*

Chandigarh, 02.03.2026:
The Department of Forests & Wildlife, UT Chandigarh organized a technical workshop for schools on the scientific identification and risk assessment of dead, dangerous, and hollow trees within institutional campuses.

The primary objective of the workshop was to strengthen early detection mechanisms and build institutional capacity for systematic tree risk evaluation to prevent tree failure incidents, particularly during high wind events, heavy rainfall, and extreme weather conditions. The deliberations focused on arboriculture assessment techniques, structural defect identification, and visual tree assessment (VTA) methodologies.

Key technical aspects covered during the session included: The technical session covered the identification of physiological and structural indicators of tree decline, including crown dieback, bark detachment, presence of fungal fruiting bodies, cavities, cracks, root plate instability, and abnormal leaning posture. Participants were trained to differentiate between deadwood and structurally compromised branches, and to assess hollow trunks and internal decay through careful observation of external visual cues. The deliberations also emphasized understanding load distribution, canopy balance, and root anchorage in evaluating tree stability. In addition, protocols for systematic documentation, timely reporting, and coordination with concerned departments were discussed to facilitate appropriate mitigation measures such as pruning, cabling, bracing, or removal wherever necessary.

The workshop was attended by Principals and Eco Club In-charges of various schools, with a focus on enabling them to develop internal monitoring systems and integrate periodic tree health audits within campus management plans.

The technical sessions were delivered by Professor Satish Narula, Retired Professor of Horticulture, who elaborated on diagnostic indicators of biotic and abiotic stress factors affecting urban trees. Major General Bewli (Retd) addressed the gathering and emphasized the importance of preparedness, structured inspection schedules, and coordinated emergency response frameworks to minimize risks.

The workshop was presided over by Shri Anup Kumar Soni, Conservator of Forests, UT Chandigarh. Officers from the Horticulture Wing of the Engineering Department and the Municipal Corporation also participated, underscoring the importance of inter-departmental coordination in urban tree risk management and public safety.

The Department reaffirmed its commitment to scientific urban forestry practices, risk mitigation, and the protection of both public safety and green assets across Chandigarh.

On the third day, Shri Indresh Maharaj extolled the true glory of Sharad Purnima.

On the third day, Shri Indresh Maharaj extolled the true glory of Sharad Purnima.

Indresh Maharaj mesmerized devotees with his narration of the story.

Chandigarh, 

The Vrindavan Praktya Utsav and Shrimad Bhagwat Katha are being organized at the Mela Ground in Sector 34 under the aegis of the Shri Krishna Priya Ju Sankirtan Mandal. On the third day of the Katha, narrator Shri Indresh Maharaj extolled the true glory of Sharad Purnima. He said that Vrindavan is Shri Krishna himself, and the moon of Sharad Purnima is the incarnation of Kishori. When Kishori appears on Sharad Purnima, the essence of Vrindavan is unique. On Sharad Purnima, the celebration of Shri Krishna's union with Kishori is celebrated. On that day, the moon fills all of Vrindavan with its light and shade.

The Katha discussed the poignant character of Meera Bai. He said that there is no knowledge or luxury in Bai's character; only love is present. He shared a special insight.  In Rajasthan, Meera Bai is not called "Meera Bai" but "Bai Sa." He said that when following the path of the Bhagwat, one should strive not to use the names of the Acharyas explicitly; they should be addressed as "Bai Sa."

Renuka Goswami, the wife of renowned Bhagwat speaker Acharya Shri Pundrik Goswami Ji Maharaj, also attended the Katha today. His mother, Harsh Sharma, also attended. Children from Nimai Pathshala also came to listen to the Katha with them.

Shri Indresh Maharaj Ji gave a beautiful definition of Dharma and Paramdharma. He explained that loving oneself, relatives, and the world is Dharma, and loving the One who created the entire universe is our Paramdharma.

Love is that which never complains to the beloved. When Thakur Ji met Kishori Ji in Kurukshetra after 100 years, there was no complaint in Kishori Ji's eyes, only love.

The Katha then began with full rituals, with the chanting of Radha Raman Hari.  World-renowned Katha Vyas Param Pujya Shri Indresh Maharaj said that Chandigarh has now become Vrindavan due to the efforts of singer B. Praak.

Param Pujya Shri Indresh Maharaj spoke about Gopi Nath Ji during his Katha narration. He said that only fortunate people get to listen to Satsang and we should apply the teachings heard in Satsang in our lives.

On this occasion, singer B. Praak mentioned that renowned saints of the country are attending this Bhagwat Katha. Singer B. Praak offered his heartfelt obeisance to all the saints and said, "I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to organize this event and serve these great saints." He said that this Katha event will continue daily from 3 pm to 7 pm until October 3rd. He appealed to people to come to this Katha with their families.

Chandigarh, September 27, 2025

The seven-day Shrimad Bhagwat Katha and Vrindavan Prakatya Utsav began on Saturday under the aegis of Shri Krishna Priya Ju Sankirtan Mandal. A large number of people participated in this Katha event.

During his Katha, the entire Chandigarh reverberated with chants of Radha-Radha and Govind-Govind. During Maharaj's Katha, Chandigarh transformed into Vrindavan, and devotees began dancing in devotion to the Lord.

On this occasion, Singer B. Praak stated that renowned saints from across the country are arriving for this Bhagwat Katha, which will connect the residents of Chandigarh with Vrindavan for the entire seven days.

AAP Slams 12% Power Tariff Hike in Chandigarh, Registers Protest Before JERC Chairperson; Privatization Proved to Be a Blunder



AAP Slams 12% Power Tariff Hike in Chandigarh, Registers Protest Before JERC Chairperson; Privatization Proved to Be a Blunder


Chandigarh, July 25 – The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chandigarh unit has strongly opposed the 12% electricity tariff hike approved by the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC), calling it a direct assault on public interest. AAP leaders formally submitted a memorandum and voiced their objections directly before the JERC Chairperson during the public hearing held at the Government Museum & Art Gallery, Sector 10, said AAP leaders.


This was the first tariff hike after privatization of the electricity wing in 2025, when the profitable government-run department was handed over to Chandigarh Power Distribution Ltd. (CPDL). AAP had opposed this privatization from day one, participating in city-wide protests alongside electricity department employees. “We had warned that this company would exploit the public to show artificial losses and hike tariffs  today our fears have come true,” said AAP Chandigarh President Vijaypal Singh.


In the hearing, Vijaypal Singh, State Media In-Charge Vikrant A Tanwar, General Secretary Omkar Singh Aulakh, and Councillor Hardeep Singh pointed out that the electricity wing made ₹258.85 crore profit in 2020–21 under government management. Within months of privatization, CPDL has projected shocking revenue gaps  ₹158.01 crore for 2025–26 and a total projected loss of ₹982 crore over the next five years  all without any independent audit.


AAP also highlighted the decline in service quality since CPDL took over: frequent power cuts, inflated bills, poor grievance redressal, and arbitrary disconnections. “People are now paying more for worse services  this is robbery, not reform,” Singh said.


Drawing comparisons with AAP-ruled Punjab, where 82% of households receive 300 units of free electricity, AAP questioned why not even a single Chandigarh resident gets any relief.


AAP demanded immediate rollback of the tariff hike, independent audit of CPDL’s finances, public performance review, and provision of at least 200 free units for domestic consumers. “If CPDL cannot serve people efficiently, its license must be cancelled and power supply must be returned to government hands,” said the AAP team.

*Health Minister Arti Singh Rao addresses press conference in Panchkula*

Panchkula, July 15 – The Haryana Health Department is accelerating efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure, workforce, and services across the state. The department has hired 720 new doctors and is actively working to fill remaining vacancies in hospitals.

This was stated by Health and Family Welfare Minister Arti Singh Rao during a press conference held in Panchkula today. She said 785 medical facilities across the state—including Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs), Sub-Health Centres, and Civil Hospitals—are slated for upgradation. Of these, administrative approval has already been received for 534 facilities, with the rest under process. Regular coordination meetings with the Public Works Department (PWD) are being held to expedite construction and renovation work.

The minister highlighted the state's extensive efforts to increase First Referral Units (FRUs), which offer specialized maternal and newborn care. In 2014, Haryana had 41 FRUs, which have now increased to 87. Additional FRUs with specialist services are in the pipeline.

She also spoke about the Ujjwal Drishti Haryana Abhiyan, a first-of-its-kind statewide campaign launched this month to provide free spectacles to school children and vision correction for citizens above 45 years of age. Over 1.4 lakh spectacles have already been distributed simultaneously across 22 district hospitals, 50 sub-divisional hospitals, and 122 community health centres. Eye examinations of nearly 21 lakh students in 14,267 government schools are underway, and approximately 40,000 students identified with visual impairments will receive free eyeglasses.

The minister informed that Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini is set to inaugurate several health infrastructure projects worth approximately ₹2,256 crore across all districts, and lay the foundation stones of additional projects totaling ₹594 crore in the coming month.

She further shared that the number of MBBS seats in Haryana has risen from 700 in 2014 to 2,185 today. With new medical colleges being established in Bhiwani and Charkhi Dadri, another 300 MBBS seats will be added by end of this year. The number of PG (MD/MS) seats, which stood at 289 in 2014, has increased to 874. To bolster nursing education, six government nursing colleges are under construction. The Rewari college has already been inaugurated, while construction of the remaining five colleges is over 90% complete.

In the domain of AYUSH, Haryana will establish Shri Krishna Ayush University in FY 2025–26 on 100 acres in Fatehpur village, Kurukshetra. The university will offer 63 BAMS seats, 82 PG seats, and 63 seats for Diploma in Pharmacy. Additionally, Ayush Herbal Parks will be established in Rewari and Jind, and a Government Homeopathic College is proposed in Chandpura village, Ambala. A 25-bed Homeopathic Hospital has already begun functioning in Rampur-Sarsehdi Community Centre to support this initiative.

Responding to a question on sex ratio, the Minister said the numbers have been steadily improving over the past 2–3 years due to strict enforcement. Reverse tracking of suspected illegal  abortions is being carried out, and over-the-counter sales of MTP pills have been banned, contributing to a positive shift in the trend.

STUDY NOTES - UPSC IAS - TOTAL FERTILITY RATE (TFR)




TOTAL FERTILITY RATE (TFR)



1. Context

Delhi has not only recorded the lowest Total Fertility Rate (TFR), the average number of children per woman, but also the highest decline in the TFR in recent years.The Sample Registration System (SRS) report by the Registrar General of India for 2021, released on May 7, stated that Delhi’s TFR was 1.4 in 2021 against 1.9 in 2011, a 26.3% decline



2. About the Total Fertility Rate (TFR)

The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is a key demographic indicator that helps us understand the average number of children a woman in a specific population will have during her lifetime, assuming current birth patterns persist. It's different from the crude birth rate, which simply measures the number of births per 1,000 people in a population in a given year.

What it measuresThe average number of children a woman will have throughout her reproductive lifespan.
It considers age-specific fertility rates, which means it takes into account the different birth rates at different ages within the population.
Provides a longer-term perspective on population dynamics compared to the crude birth rate.

SignificanceHelps assess population growth trends and predict future population size.
Informs policy decisions related to education, healthcare, social security, and economic development.
Understanding TFR is crucial for analyzing the potential demographic dividend, which refers to the economic and social benefits that can arise from a large working-age population due to declining fertility rates.

CalculationSumming the age-specific fertility rates (ASFRs) for all fertile age groups (typically 15-49 years) and multiplying by five.
ASFRs represent the average number of births per 1,000 women in a specific age group.

Key TFR levelsReplacement fertility rate: Around 2.1 children per woman, ensures population stability without growth or decline due to births and deaths (excluding migration).
TFR below replacement: Indicates a declining population, with potential implications for workforce size and economic growth.
TFR above replacement: Leads to population growth, requiring investments in infrastructure and resources to support the growing population.


3. What does the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 2.0 mean?

A Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 2.0 means that, on average, each woman in the population is expected to give birth to two children over her reproductive lifetime. This value represents the replacement level of fertility, where each generation replaces itself in the population. When the TFR is around 2.0, it indicates that the population is stable, with births balancing deaths over time.

A Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 2.0 indicates several key thingsAverage Children per Woman: In that specific population, on average, a woman will have two children during her lifetime, assuming current birth patterns remain unchanged. This means that each generation of women is replacing itself, without population growth or decline due solely to births and deaths (excluding migration).
Replacement Fertility Rate: A TFR of 2.0 is often referred to as the replacement fertility rate. This is because it signifies the level of fertility needed to maintain a stable population size over time, considering only births and deaths. However, it's important to note that the exact replacement level can vary slightly depending on mortality rates, particularly child mortality.
Demographic Transition: A TFR of 2.0 suggests that the population is likely in the later stages of the demographic transition. This transition involves a shift from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates. In this stage, populations typically experience a decline in fertility, followed by a decline in mortality, leading to a stabilization of population size.
Global Context: While 2.0 is the replacement fertility rate, the global average TFR is currently around 2.3, indicating slight population growth. However, many developed countries have TFRs below replacement level, which can lead to an ageing population and potential challenges for social security systems and workforce size.
Policy Implications: Understanding the TFR is crucial for policymakers in various areas like education, healthcare, social security, and economic development. A TFR below replacement may necessitate policies encouraging childbirth or attracting immigration to address potential workforce shortages. Conversely, a high TFR might require investments in infrastructure and resources to support a growing population.

जब देश पुकारे, तो हम तैयार खड़े हों” – Governor Kataria’s Call to the Youth Echoes Across Chandigarh.



जब देश पुकारे, तो हम तैयार खड़े हों” – Governor Kataria’s Call to the Youth Echoes Across Chandigarh.

Over 3,000 Volunteers Enroll as Civil Defence Heroes at Tagore Theatre and Tiranga Urban Park.

An Emotional Appeal by the Administrator Inspires a New Generation of Invisible Warriors.

Chandigarh, May 10, 2025 
It was not just a Civil Defence enrollment drive; it was a stirring call to duty. Under the wise and heartfelt leadership of Punjab Governor and Administrator of UT Chandigarh, Shri Gulab Chand Kataria, more than 3,000 young citizens stepped forward with unwavering resolve to serve as Civil Defence volunteers in a time of growing uncertainty.

Held at Tagore Theatre in Sector 18 and Tiranga Urban Park in Sector 17, the event witnessed not only an overwhelming response but also a surge of national pride and youthful determination. 

The Governor’s presence electrified the atmosphere. His words, full of emotion and moral clarity, struck a deep chord with every listener – especially the youth, who stood silently yet solemnly as he addressed them not as mere citizens, but as protectors of the nation’s soul.

Recalling India’s long tradition of unsung heroes who served without rank or recognition, Governor Kataria spoke with reverence of the invisible warriors of the past – those who during the wars of 1962, 1965, and 1971 turned schools into bunkers, carried the wounded to safety, and worked day and night with no expectation of reward. “They had no medals,” he said, “but they had the heart of India beating inside them.”

He reminded everyone that while our brave soldiers guard our borders, it is the responsibility of civil volunteers to safeguard the spirit of our nation from within – in our streets, our homes, our neighborhoods. “Civil Defence is not just a service,” he declared, “it is an emotion, a sacred responsibility – a vow to stand up when the motherland calls.”

In his powerful address, Governor Kataria made a heartfelt appeal to the youth, urging them to become the strength behind the frontline. “You are the future of India,” he said, “but in this moment, you are also its shield.” 

At Tagore Theatre, the sound of applause after his speech was thunderous. At Tiranga Urban Park, under the waving tricolour, hundreds took the pledge to serve not just in times of war, but in every crisis – be it disaster, emergency, or the need for calm in chaos. For many, it was a turning point – a moment when being a citizen took on a deeper meaning.

As thousands signed up, their eyes reflected a new purpose – inspired by a leader who didn’t just speak to them, but believed in them. The Governor walked amongst the volunteers, exchanging words of encouragement, placing a reassuring hand on shoulders, and reminding each one: “You are no less than a soldier. You carry India’s trust.”

This historic day marked the enrollment of over 3,000 Civil Defence volunteers – young, determined, and ready to rise whenever their nation needs them. It was more than a success – it was the rekindling of a movement, led from the front by a statesman whose voice carries the wisdom of experience and the warmth of a patriot.

Sh. Mandip Singh Brar, Home Secretary, Chandigarh, Sh. Nishant Kumar Yadav, Deputy Commissioner, Chandigarh,SSP UT, Chandigarh Ms. Kanwardeep Kaur and other officers of Chandigarh Administration were also present during the event.


 जब देश पुकारे, तो हम तैयार हों” – राज्यपाल कटारिया का युवाओं से आह्वान  में गूंजा चंडीगढ़।

 टैगोर थिएटर और तिरंगा अर्बन पार्क में 3,000 से अधिक स्वयंसेवकों ने नागरिक सुरक्षा नायकों के रूप में नामांकन कराया। 

प्रशासक की भावनात्मक अपील ने अदृश्य योद्धाओं की नई पीढ़ी को किया प्रेरित ।

चंडीगढ़, 10 मई, 2025 यह केवल नागरिक सुरक्षा नामांकन अभियान नहीं था; यह कर्तव्य के प्रति एक उत्साहजनक आह्वान था। पंजाब के राज्यपाल और यूटी चंडीगढ़ के प्रशासक श्री गुलाब चंद कटारिया के बुद्धिमान और दिल से किए गए नेतृत्व में, 3,000 से अधिक युवा नागरिक बढ़ती अनिश्चितता के समय में नागरिक सुरक्षा स्वयंसेवकों के रूप में सेवा करने के लिए अटूट संकल्प के साथ आगे आए। सेक्टर 18 में टैगोर थिएटर और सेक्टर 17 में तिरंगा अर्बन पार्क में आयोजित इस कार्यक्रम में न केवल जबरदस्त प्रतिक्रिया देखी गई, बल्कि राष्ट्रीय गौरव और युवा दृढ़ संकल्प की भी लहर देखी गई। 

राज्यपाल की उपस्थिति ने उत्साह को बढ़ाया  माहौल में जोश भर गया। भावनाओं और नैतिक स्पष्टता से भरे उनके शब्दों ने हर श्रोता को गहराई से प्रभावित किया - खासकर युवाओं को, जो चुपचाप लेकिन गंभीरता से खड़े थे, क्योंकि उन्होंने उन्हें केवल नागरिक के रूप में नहीं, बल्कि राष्ट्र की आत्मा के रक्षक के रूप में संबोधित किया।

भारत के गुमनाम नायकों की लंबी परंपरा को याद करते हुए, जिन्होंने बिना किसी पद या मान्यता के सेवा की, राज्यपाल कटारिया ने अतीत के अदृश्य योद्धाओं के बारे में श्रद्धा के साथ बात की - जिन्होंने 1962, 1965 और 1971 के युद्धों के दौरान स्कूलों को बंकरों में बदल दिया, घायलों को सुरक्षित स्थान पर पहुंचाया और बिना किसी इनाम की उम्मीद के दिन-रात काम किया। उन्होंने कहा, "उनके पास कोई पदक नहीं था, लेकिन उनके अंदर भारत का दिल धड़क रहा था।"

उन्होंने सभी को याद दिलाया कि जब हमारे बहादुर सैनिक हमारी सीमाओं की रक्षा करते हैं, तो नागरिक स्वयंसेवकों की जिम्मेदारी है कि वे हमारे राष्ट्र की भावना को हमारे भीतर से - हमारी गलियों, हमारे घरों, हमारे मोहल्लों में सुरक्षित रखें। उन्होंने घोषणा की, "नागरिक सुरक्षा केवल एक सेवा नहीं है, यह एक भावना है, एक पवित्र जिम्मेदारी है - मातृभूमि के आह्वान पर खड़े होने की शपथ।"  

राज्यपाल कटारिया ने अपने प्रभावशाली संबोधन में युवाओं से दिल से अपील की और उन्हें अग्रिम मोर्चे के पीछे की ताकत बनने का आग्रह किया। उन्होंने कहा, "आप भारत का भविष्य हैं, लेकिन इस समय आप इसकी ढाल भी हैं।" टैगोर थिएटर में उनके भाषण के बाद तालियों की गड़गड़ाहट गूंज उठी। तिरंगा शहरी पार्क में लहराते तिरंगे के नीचे सैकड़ों लोगों ने न केवल युद्ध के समय, बल्कि हर संकट में सेवा करने की शपथ ली - चाहे वह आपदा हो, आपातकाल हो या अराजकता में शांति की आवश्यकता हो। 

कई लोगों के लिए यह एक महत्वपूर्ण मोड़ था - एक ऐसा क्षण जब नागरिक होने का गहरा अर्थ हुआ। हजारों लोगों ने जैसे ही हस्ताक्षर किए, उनकी आँखों में एक नया उद्देश्य झलक रहा था - एक ऐसे नेता से प्रेरित जो न केवल उनसे बात करता था, बल्कि उन पर विश्वास करता था। 

राज्यपाल स्वयंसेवकों के बीच चले गए, प्रोत्साहन के शब्दों का आदान-प्रदान किया, कंधों पर एक आश्वस्त हाथ रखा और प्रत्येक को याद दिलाया: "आप किसी सैनिक से कम नहीं हैं। आप भारत का विश्वास लेकर चलते हैं।" 

 इस ऐतिहासिक दिन पर 3,000 से अधिक सिविल डिफेंस स्वयंसेवकों का नामांकन हुआ - युवा, दृढ़ निश्चयी और जब भी देश को उनकी आवश्यकता हो, वे आगे आने के लिए तैयार हैं। यह एक सफलता से कहीं अधिक था - यह एक आंदोलन को फिर से जगाने वाला था, जिसका नेतृत्व एक ऐसे राजनेता ने किया जिसकी आवाज़ में अनुभव की बुद्धि और देशभक्त की गर्मजोशी है।

चंडीगढ़ के गृह सचिव श्री मंदीप सिंह बराड़, चंडीगढ़ के डिप्टी कमिश्नर श्री निशांत कुमार यादव, यूटी, चंडीगढ़ की एसएसपी सुश्री कंवरदीप कौर और चंडीगढ़ प्रशासन के अन्य अधिकारी भी इस कार्यक्रम के दौरान मौजूद थे।
