Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) will take out a nagar kirtan from Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib, in Narowal district of Pakistan Punjab to the zero line -- international border at Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur district of Indian Punjab -- to mark the ‘jyoti jyot’ (death anniversary) of Guru Nanak Dev.
The PSGPC also urged India to resume the Kartarpur Sahib pilgrimage via the corridor.
PSGPC president Satwant Singh said the Akhand path would begin on September 20 and the bhog would be performed on September 22, following which the Nagar Kirtan will go up to the zero line, a distance of about 4.5 km.
The PSGPC tweeted a video of Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur Sahib, which has been decked up with lights to observe the death anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.
Jathas of Sikhs from across Pakistan, especially from Lahore, Nankana Sahib and Sindh province, would arrive in large numbers.
*PSGPC is observing the Guru’s death anniversary according to the Nanakshahi Calendar (NC) on September 22, while the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has already marked the religious event on September 12 as per the amended and Akal Takht-approved version of the calendar.
