Giani Gargaj visits border villages, talks to residents

Amid the ongoing tense situation, Akal Takht officiating Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj visited several villages near the Attari border, including Pakka Dhanoa, Attari, Naushera Dhalla, and others, on Saturday. He also met with residents of these villages to understand their situation.

The sacred saroops (scriptures) of Guru Granth Sahib have been safely relocated from several gurdwaras in these border villages to secure locations by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). Giani Gargaj reviewed the entire procedure and expressed satisfaction.

Residents of villages were in high spirits during their interaction with Jathedar Gargaj and affirmed their resolve to remain steadfast even during these challenging times.

On the occasion, Giani Gargaj prayed for peace in South Asia and hoped for a swift resolution to the current situation.

He emphasised that the gurdwaras in the border villages remain open and local community members are in high spirits.

Giani Gargaj highlighted that the SGPC has taken special initiatives to support residents in border areas — providing food, shelter, and other essential items at nearby gurdwaras.

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.
