The Chief Minister highlighted the need for detailed arrangements to accommodate the thousands of pilgrims who visit annually for the Shaheedi Sabha, stressing the importance of maintaining cleanliness in the area.
He noted that this sacred site serves as a source of inspiration not just for Sikhs but for all of humanity, as people gather yearly to honor Chotta Sahibzadas and Mata Gujri on their martyrdom anniversary.

The Chief Minister remarked that the martyrdom of Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh, along with Mata Gujri-ji, in this hallowed land, has historically inspired Punjabis to combat injustice and oppression.
