A Nagar Kirtan dedicated to the holy day of Maghi passed through seven villages, concluding at Seechewal village in the evening. The procession was led by Rajya Sabha member and environmentalist Balbir Singh Seechewal, who captivated the congregation with stories and kirtan.
During his address, Seechewal spoke about the historical significance of Maghi and urged Punjabis to prioritise poison-free, nature-friendly farming. He emphasised the need for sustainable agricultural practices, warning that widespread diseases such as cancer are a direct result of harmful farming methods.
He called for collective action to adopt eco-friendly farming and to free rivers and streams from pollution for the sake of public health.
