Hindustan Times Chandigarh|December 28, 2024

CHANDIGARH:

Just months older than Singh, Chadha first met him in 1965 at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. "When I arrived in New York, Manmohan Singh was just a junior officer there while I was India's delegate," recalled Chadha, now settled in Chandigarh's Sector 36. "This is from where he started his international career."
