Rare nagar kirtan from Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib to zero line

Amritsar, April 20

In a rare event, a nagar kirtan procession was taken out from Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib in Narowal district of Pakistan to the zero line connecting Dera Baba Nanak on the Indian side last evening.

The procession, accompanied by a ‘palki’ was headed by ‘panj pyaras’ from India who are accompanying a jatha to commemorate Baisakhi in Pakistan.

Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) chief Satwant Singh said it was the first time such a nagar kirtan was organised from the Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur, to the Joint Check Post by an Indian Sikh jatha comprising 800 pilgrims.

At the zero line, an ‘ardas’ was performed for early opening of the Kartarpur corridor from the Indian side. — TNS
