Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj visit Punjab’s border villages

Amritsar, May 10 –Nazrana Times Beuro

Amid the ongoing tense situation in South Asia, the officiating Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj, visited several villages near the Attari border in Punjab, including Pakka Dhanoa, Attari, Naushera Dhalla, and others. He met with the residents of these villages to understand their conditions. The sacred saroops (scriptures) of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji have been safely relocated from several gurdwaras in these border villages to secure locations by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). Jathedar Gargajj reviewed the entire procedure and expressed satisfaction.

The village residents expressed high spirits during their interaction with Jathedar Gargajj and affirmed their resolve to remain steadfast even during these challenging times. On this occasion, Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj prayed for peace in South Asia and hoped for a swift resolution to the current situation. He emphasized that the gurdwaras in the border villages remain open and the local community members are in high spirits. He also highlighted that the SGPC has taken special initiatives to support residents in border areas—providing food, shelter, and other necessities at nearby gurdwaras under the direction of SGPC President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami.

He urged everyone to continue reciting Gurbani and offer prayers to Guru Sahib for peace and well-being. He encouraged villagers to support each other during this period and assist those in need.

Jathedar Gargajj clarified that while some villages are located right along the border line and had requested the safe relocation of the sacred Guru Granth Sahib Ji, many others still have their gurdwaras open and functioning. During the visit, he also promoted Sikh values in the villages and encouraged young Sikhs playing in the fields to maintain their distinct Sabat Soorat Sikh identity and stay away from drugs.
