Among them were a hostel block for boys and girls at the Commerce College in the same sector, a 2,500 KW floating solar power plant at Water Works in Sector 39, the extension block of Govt Senior Secondary School in Kajheri, and the IT block at the Post Graduate Govt College in Sector 46. In addition, the MoS (home affairs) virtually laid the foundation for the construction of 144 residential units in the Chandigarh Armed Police Complex at Dhanas.
Kumar described Chandigarh as a true embodiment of the spirit of "Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat." He commended the city's progress in development, transparency, and security, noting that the implementation of Smart City projects, road and public transport modernisation, digital governance, ease-of-living initiatives, and Green India and Swachh Bharat missions brought tangible improvements to citizens' lives.
He underscored that Chandigarh holds the distinction of being the first in the country to fully implement the three new legal frameworks — the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. The city's pioneering adoption of these new criminal, civil, and evidence laws marks a historic step toward strengthening citizen protection and justice delivery.
He said, "The projects inaugurated and foundation stones laid today reflect not only Chandigarh's development but also the broader national vision and commitment under the principle of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas'".

He emphasised that these initiatives will enhance educational quality, safety, and infrastructure, empower youth with technology skills through the new IT block, and provide better living conditions for police personnel through the housing project in Dhanas.
Looking ahead to the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, Bandi Sanjay Kumar expressed confidence that India will emerge as the world's leading economic power. As part of this mission, Chandigarh will be developed as a knowledge hub, wellness city, and a model of smart governance. He congratulated all officials, planners, engineers, workers, and citizens of UT Chandigarh for their dedication and initiative toward this transformation.
