LAHORE: Some 4000 Indian Sikh yatrees will arrive in Lahore on April 11 via Wagah border to take part in Sikh religious festive, Besakhi.
The security plan has been finalized ahead of yatrees’ arrival in the country, this was said by Aukaf Board Chairman Asif Hashmi at a press conference.
Hashmi said that rangers and elite force jawans would be deployed to provide security for visiting Indian yatrees.
According to the Sikh religion, the Besakhi festival is celebrated only at the holy city of Hassanabdal, where lies the Gurdwara Punja Sahib.
In 1921, it was decided by the Gurus (elders) of the Sikh religion to celebrate the event on the first day of Sunsikrat month of Besakh in memory of the day of the first Besakh in the year 1699 when the 10th Guru of the Sikh religion awarded Punj Kaaf slot and symbol to Guru Goband at the city of Anandpur Sahib (India).
