Declare Batala 24th district of Punjab: Ministers to Amarinder

Two senior Punjab ministers -- Tripat Rajinder Singh Bajwa and Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa -- have demanded that Batala should be created as 24th district of the state to honour the wish of the people and overall development of this area. In a letter to Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, they underscored that Batala was a historic town but did not get the focus it deserved. The two ministers said along with this the historic towns of Fatehgarh Churian and Hargobindpur or Ghuman should be made new sub-divisions of the new district.
