Amritsar, January 6

Amid the Covid-19 threat, the SGPC has extended the date of depositing passports for aspirants who wish to visit Gurdwara Sri Panja Sahib (Pakistan) on the occasion of Khalsa Sajna Diwas (Baisakhi). SGPC secretary Mohinder Singh Ahli said like every year, the SGPC planned to send a jatha of pilgrims to the gurdwara and other Sikh shrines in April to mark the occasion.

“The pilgrims can deposit their passports with the yatra department at the SGPC headquarters in Amritsar by January 20 so that the requisite procedure could be followed to obtain visa documents,” he said. The SGPC had earlier asked the pilgrims to deposit their passports by December 31. — TNS
