As the year-long celebrations head to a closure, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Monday directed all departments to conclude all pending works initiated to commemorate the historic 550th birth anniversary of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and to highlight the 550 projects completed in 65 villages during this period.
The closing functions will take place over three days at the end of this month, culminating on November 30, when the Chief Minister will visit Sultanpur Lodhi and Dera Baba Nanak to pay his respects in the historic towns associated with the first Sikh Guru. Chairing a high-level meeting to discuss the programme, the Chief Minister asked various departments to avoid events with large crowds and instead to organize virtual/digital functions amid projections of the second Covid wave in the state.
He also directed the departments to highlight the 550 projects completed in 65 villages during the year-long celebrations. At the virtual meeting, attended by Cabinet Ministers Charanjit Singh Channi, Tript Bajwa and Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Captain Amarinder also released a coffee table book based on the 550th Prakash Purb celebrations.
