Evening Newswrap: Smriti Mandhana-Palash Muchhal Wedding Postponed; MHA Issues Clarification on Chandigarh Bill & More

The much-anticipated wedding of Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal has been postponed due to a medical emergency. Mandhana's father, Srinivas Mandhana, was hospitalized, leading to the cancellation of the ceremony that was scheduled for today, November 23, in Sangli. According to Smriti's manager, Tuhin Mishra, Srinivas was rushed to a private hospital in Sangli for urgent treatment. The family has requested privacy as they focus on his recovery. Social media had been buzzing with glimpses of their pre-wedding festivities; however, the couple will now have to wait before they can proceed with their wedding plans.

In other news, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued a clarification regarding a proposed bill concerning Chandigarh's administration. The MHA stated that the central government has no intention of introducing any bill to alter Chandigarh's governance or administrative structure in the upcoming Winter Session of Parliament, which begins on December 1, 2025. This clarification follows a political controversy surrounding a proposal to bring Chandigarh under Article 240 of the Constitution. The MHA emphasized that the proposal is only meant to simplify the law-making process for Chandigarh and does not aim to change its governance, administrative structure, or the traditional arrangements between Chandigarh and the states of Punjab and Haryana. The ministry assured that any decision will be made after thorough consultations with all stakeholders, keeping Chandigarh's interests in mind.

The proposal to include Chandigarh under Article 240 of the Constitution had caused political unrest, particularly in Punjab, with political parties viewing the bill as a move to diminish Punjab's claim over its capital. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann stated that the move is against the interests of Punjab and that the government would strongly oppose the bill. The MHA's clarification aims to calm political tensions and confusion surrounding the issue, reiterating that the current system, where the Punjab governor acts as administrator, remains intact.
