AMRTISAR: A devoted contingent of Sikh pilgrims departed from Amritsar for Pakistan on Tuesday under the banner of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) to participate in the sacred celebrations of Guru Nanak Dev's Prakash Parv. The group will take part in religious ceremonies at Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of Guru Nanak, and other historic Gurdwaras across Pakistan.
On this occasion, Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj of Akal Takht Sahib accompanied the group, offering prayers for a successful and spiritually fulfilling journey.
Speaking to the media before the departure, Jathedar Gadgaj noted that although the government had issued visas to the devotees, the Kartarpur Sahib Langar was still not fully open. He emphasised that the Kartarpur corridor is not merely a route for pilgrimage but “a bridge that connects hearts”.
