The district administration on Monday made all preparations for the light and sound show to be organised at Guru Gobind Singh Stadium on November 4.

Addressing the media today at the local District Administrative Complex, along with Tourism and Cultural Affairs Department Adviser Deepak Bali, Deputy Commissioner Dr Himanshu Aggarwal and Police Commissioner Dhanpreet Kaur and minister Mohinder Bhagat said the unparalleled sacrifice made by the ninth Sikh master for the welfare of humanity is unmatched anywhere in the world. He said kirtan programmes are being held in towns and cities blessed by the Guru’s presence, along with light and sound shows across all districts.

Inviting people to join the events dedicated to the “Hind Di Chadar”, he urged all residents of the district to attend the show with their families to learn about the Guru’s life, philosophy, and supreme sacrifice. Bali said shows are being organised using digital technology to familiarise the new generation with the Guru’s life, teachings, and martyrdom.

Bali further said shows will be held in four districts, Jalandhar, Pathankot, Fatehgarh Sahib and Patiala. He also mentioned that the government is organising Nagar Kirtans from different places. One such Nagar Kirtan will start from Gurdaspur on November 20, reach Jalandhar on November 21, and then proceed to Nawanshahr on November 22. Further, he said from November 23 to 25, special events will be organised at Sri Anandpur Sahib, and he urged everyone to take active part in these celebrations.
