Every year, Punjab celebrates its statehood day, i.e., the day the state was formed under the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966, on 18 september.
Explanation:
On September 18, 1966, the Indian Parliament approved the Punjab Reorganisation Act, which dissolved the old state of East Punjab. Out of the former East Punjab, the present-day state of Punjab, the new state of Haryana, territory was given to Himachal Pradesh, then a Union territory, and Chandigarh became a temporary Union territory to act as the interim capital of both the Punjab and Haryana. This division was the outcome of the Punjabi Suba movement, which fought for the establishment of a state with a majority Punjabi-speaking population (the contemporary state of Punjab) (effectively, Haryana).
