Chugh gets new responsibility in Home, Defence ministries
Chandigarh 26 July ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : In a big boost to voice of Punjab BJP National General Secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Tarun Chugh has been entrusted with an important responsibility with his nomination as a member of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs and the Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Defence. The twin assignments are being seen as a recognition of Chugh’s long organisational experience and his contribution to matters of national security.
A popular BJP leader from Punjab, India’s frontline border state, Chugh has worked extensively in Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh over the years. His inclusion in the two key parliamentary panels is expected to strengthen the voice of border states and ensure that issues concerning border districts, cross-border terrorism, drone incursions, narco-smuggling, national security and the welfare of border residents receive greater attention at the policy-making level.
The Standing Committee on Home Affairs examines issues relating to internal security, border management, policing, disaster management and Union Territories, while the Defence Consultative Committee deliberates on defence preparedness, military modernisation and strategic security matters. Many party leaders and workers welcomed the new responsibility given to Chugh and wished him great success.
