For the first time ever, Punjab’s Assembly is packing up and heading to Sri Anandpur Sahib on November 24. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced the move, calling it a way to reconnect governance with Punjab’s deep cultural and spiritual roots. And honestly, it’s a big deal—no Assembly session has ever happened at this sacred town, the very birthplace of the Khalsa, founded by Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Tribute to Guru Traditions
Mann says the decision isn’t just symbolic. Sri Anandpur Sahib stands for courage, sacrifice, and unity—qualities he believes should still guide Punjab forward. He wants this moment to remind everyone in government what real public service should look like.
The timing isn’t random, either. The session lines up with ongoing events honouring Sikh history, especially tributes to Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji and the teachings of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Holding the session there, Mann says, pays respect to these milestones and urges legislators to remember the moral weight of their responsibilities.
Legislative Agendas and Public Interest Prioritised
It’s not just about tradition, though. Officials say the agenda stays focused on issues that matter: rural development, jobs, public welfare, and people-first policies. This isn’t just a ceremonial gathering. Mann insists they plan to use the setting to drive real policy discussions—hopefully with a bit more heart, inspired by the stories and values that have shaped Punjab.
The public seems to love the idea. People and community leaders are already praising the move, hoping it wakes up the Assembly and brings a new sense of responsibility to those in charge.
Security and Logistics Already Underway
With so many visitors always around, Sri Anandpur Sahib, security and logistics are already in motion. The state police, local authorities, and administration are all working together to make sure things go off without a hitch.
So, as November 24 approaches, Punjab gets ready for a pretty unprecedented day—one where its leaders sit down to work in the shadow of the very traditions that built the state. It’s not just about history. It’s about bringing those old values right into the present.
