A special train to Patna Sahib under the Mukh Mantri Tirath Darshan Yatra scheme was flagged off by ADC Shena Aggarwal from the Bathinda railway station today. The train carried more than 1,000 devotees from Bathinda, Sri Muktsar Sahib and Mansa districts.

The devotees will pay obeisance at the Takht Sri Patna Sahib on the eve of the 350th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh at Patna and will return after January 6.
