BATHINDA – This time, Baisakhi at Talwandi Sabo remained devoid of any political conferences in view of the restrictions imposed by the Election Commission (EC).
Meanwhile, Takht Sri Damdama Sahib jathedar Balwant Singh Nandgarh and SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar urged people to shun drugs. The gurudwara authorities made elaborate arrangements for the stay of devotees from Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and other states.
Villagers organised langar (community kitchen) on road. People enjoyed traditional sports of gatka and a few of them participated in the turban-tying competition.
“The political colour is missing this time, though workers of the leading political parties are canvassing for their leaders,” said Gurwinder Singh, who came with his family from Khemuana village in Bathinda district, to pay obeisance.
