Lahore: Pakistani authorities have made foolproof security arrangements for Sikh pilgrims who will visit the country to celebrate the 556th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev next month, officials said on Tuesday.
A meeting was held at the Home Department of the Punjab government on Tuesday to review the arrangements for Guru Nanak’s birth anniversary.
The meeting was attended by the first Sikh minister of Punjab and President of the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, Sardar Ramesh Singh Arora, Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) Chairman Sajid Mahmood Chauhan, Secretary Home Department, Punjab, Ahmad Javed Qazi and senior police officers.
With celebrations scheduled from November 4-14, the main event is on November 5 at Gurdwara Janam Asthan in Nankana Sahib. Despite India-Pakistan tensions since May, Pakistani authorities ensure smooth facilities for all attendees, and discussions continue to ease travel restrictions on Indian pilgrims.
