Chandigarh Shooting: Property Dealer Shot Dead in Sector 9 A property dealer was shot dead in Chandigarh’s Sector 9 on Wednesday in a brazen attack near a high-security zone of the city. The 31-year-old victim, Charanpreet Singh, was killed after assailants opened fire near a gym where he had just finished a workout session. According to initial police reports, two men on a motorcycle approached Singh as he was getting into his Scorpio vehicle. They fired at close range, pumping at least eight bullets into his body. Singh sustained multiple injuries, including wounds to his arm and torso, and collapsed inside the car. Witnesses described how he slumped over the driver’s seat immediately after the shooting. His associates rushed him to the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, but he succumbed to severe blood loss en route. Police teams arrived at the scene shortly after the incident and recovered over five empty cartridges. The attack occurred just a short distance from key security establishments, including the Chandigarh administration offices and the office of the senior superintendent of police. Preliminary investigations suggest Singh may have received threats in the past, pointing to the possibility of a targeted killing. Authorities are currently examining potential motives, including property disputes and rivalries within the real estate business. The shooting comes a day after another incident involving gunfire on the campus of Panjab University. During the ongoing student festival Jhankaar, two rounds were allegedly fired by unidentified assailants on a two-wheeler near the Department of Botany parking area. The attack targeted student leader Jashandeep Singh Jawanda, also known as Jashan Jawanda, a member of the Student Organisation of Panjab University (SOPU).#chandigarh #panjab_university #sector_9 #charanpreet_singh #jashandeep_singh_jawanda

Man Shot Dead Outside Gym in Chandigarh, Second Firing in 24 Hours A 31-year-old man was killed in a daylight shooting outside a gym in Chandigarh on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, according to police. The victim, identified as Charanpreet, was shot by two unidentified assailants who arrived on a motorcycle. The attack occurred as he was exiting the gym in Sector 17, a residential area of the city. Charanpreet sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to a hospital, where he was declared dead. The attackers fled the scene after the incident, leaving no immediate clues about their identities or motives. Police have cordoned off the area and are collecting forensic evidence from the location. An investigation is ongoing, with authorities reviewing CCTV footage from the vicinity to identify the perpetrators. This incident marks the second firearm-related attack in Chandigarh within a 24-hour period. On Tuesday, March 17, unidentified individuals opened fire at a student leader near the Department of Botany at Panjab University. The student escaped unharmed, though the attack raised concerns about rising violence in the region. Authorities have not yet disclosed any suspects or motives for either incident. The police spokesperson emphasized that the cases are under active scrutiny, with efforts focused on locating the attackers and understanding the circumstances surrounding the attacks. The recent spate of violence has prompted calls for increased security measures in public spaces, particularly in areas with high foot traffic. The Chandigarh police have also urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. While no official statement has linked the two incidents, the proximity in time and location has led to speculation about potential connections.#chandigarh #panjab_university #charanpreet #sector_17 #department_of_botany
Orange alert in Punjab and Haryana: Fresh western disturbance to bring hail and gusty winds from tomorrow The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for parts of Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh, warning of thunderstorms, lightning, gusty winds, and possible hailstorms starting Thursday. A yellow alert remains in effect for other regions. The warning comes as a fresh western disturbance is expected to impact the Himalayan region from March 19, altering weather conditions across North India. Light to moderate rainfall has already been recorded in parts of Punjab and isolated areas of Haryana, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds. Temperatures have remained near normal, though minimum temperatures have risen slightly. In Haryana, the average minimum temperature increased by about 2°C, with the lowest recorded at 12.9°C in Sonipat. Punjab saw a rise of 2.8°C, with the lowest temperature at 12.5°C in Faridkot. Major cities like Chandigarh, Ludhiana, and Patiala reported minimum temperatures of 13.5°C, 15.6°C, and 14.7°C, respectively. The weather system is expected to bring a drop of 4-5°C in maximum temperatures over the next few days, offering temporary relief from the heat. However, temperatures are likely to rise gradually by 3-4°C afterward. Rainfall intensity is projected to increase on Thursday and Friday, with thunderstorms and lightning accompanying the downpours. Gusty winds of 30-50 kmph are anticipated, and hailstorms may occur in isolated areas. Agricultural experts note that the expected moderate rainfall could benefit standing crops, particularly wheat, which is nearing maturity. However, strong winds, hailstorms, and heavy rain during this critical phase could damage crops like wheat and mustard, leading to lodging and grain loss.#india_meteorological_department #haryana #punjab #chandigarh #western_disturbance
Showers Set to Soak the City Light to moderate rain is expected in Chandigarh starting Wednesday, with the intensity and spread of the rainfall likely to increase on Thursday and Friday, according to the Meteorological Department’s forecast. The weather alert indicates that the wet spell may be accompanied by thunderstorms or lightning, along with gusty winds reaching 30–40 kmph at isolated locations on Thursday and Friday. The maximum temperature in Chandigarh dropped to 29°C on Monday, which is within the normal range for the day, while the minimum temperature was 12.1°C, three degrees below the usual average. No significant change is anticipated in the minimum temperature over the next few days, but the maximum is expected to decline further, potentially falling to around 23°C over the next four to five days. The city has experienced unusually cool conditions for March over the past two to three days. After beginning the month with temperatures eight degrees above normal, Chandigarh is now facing normal to below-normal levels, providing some relief to residents. This shift marks a notable departure from the earlier warmth, highlighting the variability in weather patterns during the season. The Met department’s forecast underscores the potential for disruptive weather, with thunderstorms and strong winds posing challenges for outdoor activities. Residents are advised to stay updated with the latest weather advisories and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during the unsettled weather. The combination of rain and lightning may also impact transportation and daily routines, requiring careful planning. The unusual cooling trend in March has sparked discussions about the broader implications of changing weather patterns.#thunderstorms #meteorological_department #chandigarh #weather_alert #rainfall
