3-day Shaheedi Jor Mela begins at Chamkaur Sahib

Chamkaur Sahib, December 20

A large number of devotees paid obeisance at Gurdwara Katalgarh Sahib as the three-day Shaheedi Jor Mela started here on Sunday.

The mela is organised every year in the memory of two elder Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh and other Sikhs who had attained martyrdom while fighting the Mughal forces. While ‘nagar kirtans’ from various villages started arriving in the town, religious diwans were started in gurdwaras.

Residents of various villages have set up community kitchens (langars) on roads leading to Chamkaur Sahib.

The Congress, SAD and AAP have decided not to hold political conferences on the occasion due to the Covid pandemic.
