The officials said the commissioner, local government secretary and the chief secretary had also accorded approval to the aforementioned decision mentioned in the summary and it finally awaited the CM’s approval.

They said the committees, while recommending Fawara Chowk (Shadman) be named after Bhagat Singh, quoted remarks by Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah about him in his speech on Sept 13, 1947. “Quaid-e-Azam too appreciated Bhagat Singh in his speech on Sept 13, 1947,” DLP committee’s minutes of meeting read while quoting a member defending his stance to name the intersection after Singh.
