Himachal Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh on Friday said the State Government would have a memorable event while celebrating the 350th Birth Anniversary of Sri Guru Gobind Singh. Presiding over a high powered committee meeting held for celebrations of 350th Birth Anniversary of the 10th Sikh Guru, the Chief Minister said the Government would provide all assistance for making the celebration a success.
He said apart from security, Government will make elaborate arrangements by providing permission for langar, erection of gates near Telegraph office, below ladies Park, near Sher-e-Punjab and at Ridge Pandal for welcoming the palanquin of Guru Gobind Singh. The Chief Minster said, “We want to make the event memorable”. He said that Guru Gobind Singhji did much of his creative and literary work at Paonta on banks of the River Yamuna in Himachal Pradesh. “I hope people from all walks of life would join the Sikh brethren in celebrations”, he said, adding that we should celebrate the event with great zeal and gusto.
The Chief Minister also appealed to keep cleanliness during the two-day event on the Ridge. The event will begin on September 24 marked by procession carrying palanquin of Guru Gobind Singh. It will start from DC office at 1 pm and will conclude at Ridge around 5 pm. The langar will be organised by Sri Guru Singh Sabha at Padamdev Complex on the Ridge.
