Chandigarh, Aug. 15 -- A former IPS officer who spends his mornings cleaning his neighbourhood and numerous others who uphold the true meaning of service to the nation with small but impactful acts will be feted during the Independence Day celebrations in the city on Friday.

The UT administration decided to honour former IPS officer Inderjeet Singh Sidhu after several social organisations and citizens groups urged them to include him in the list of awardees following a video, showing him sweeping the streets and collecting garbage went viral on social media recently. Sidhu, 87, who retired as a DIG, will be honoured with a commendation certificate.
