A large number devotees led by Baba Balbir Singh, chief of Budha Dal, riding on more than 200 horses showcased the traditional martial arts at BBSB Engineering College ground.

Chief Secretary

pays obeisance

Chief Secretary KAP Sinha and his family, meanwhile, paid obeisance at the Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib. He was escorted by Deputy Commissioner Dr Sona Thind, SSP Dr Ravjot Grewal and other officials.

Paying tributes to the Sahibzadas, he said the martyrdom of two younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh, Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh, left an indelible mark on the minds of people. He said they preferred to be bricked alive at a young age of seven and nine over converting to Islam.

Sinha, meanwhile, said the roads of Fatehgarh Sahib would be recarpeted while appreciating the arrangements made by the district and police administration.
