Punjab to ensure world class and flawless arrangements for the devotees
The Chief Minister said that the holy city of Sri Anandpur Sahib has the privilege of having been founded by the Ninth Guru, Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji in 1665, who sacrificed his life to uphold human dignity and human rights. He further said that this revered place was also the birthplace of Khalsa as in the year 1699 the tenth master of Sikhs Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji laid the foundation of Khalsa Panth at this sacred land on the historic day of Baisakhi. Bhagwant Mann said that with all its humility and enthusiasm the state government is duty bound to ensure world class and flawless arrangements for the devotees visiting the holy city during Hola Mohalla.
