Sikh body plans yatra to Haridwar on Nov 7

CHANDIGARH: In this season of yatras, a religious yatra is now on the anvil where the Sikh community would start a journey from Amritsar to Haridwar with the aim of reclaiming the land of a 450-year-old gurdwara at Har Ki Pauri, which was destroyed during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Announcing this here at a press conference, All India Sikh Conference (Babbar) leaderGurcharan Singh Babbar said the yatra would begin on November 7 and reach the site of Gurdwara Gyan Godri in Haridwar on November 10 where amid hymn singing, the congregation would take control of the gurdwara land, which is now under encroachment, to rebuild it.
