Fatehgarh Sahib, Nov 13: Ahead of the annual Shaheedi Sabha, which is projected to draw nearly 80 lakh devotees, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday took stock of the arrangements and ordered the civil and police administration to put foolproof facilities in place for the visiting pilgrims.
During the review, the Chief Minister affirmed that the congregation serves as a solemn occasion for humanity to bow in reverence to the younger Sahibzadas, Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh, alongside Mata Gujri. To manage the massive influx of devotees smoothly, Mann directed officials to expedite the repair of roads leading to Fatehgarh Sahib and roll out meticulous traffic diversion plans.
As part of an extensive transit blueprint, 200 shuttle buses will ply from nearby villages and adjoining regions, while a fleet of additional e-rickshaws will be pressed into service for last-mile connectivity.
Ensuring round-the-clock welfare for the congregation, 20 Aam Aadmi Clinics will function at the venue to cater to healthcare needs. Alongside medical support, night shelters and lodging arrangements will be set up in coordination with the local gurdwara management.
