SAD mobilising workers for corridor’s opening ceremony

AMRITSAR : The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is working overtime to mobilise its rank and file to ensure a large gathering at the Kartarpur corridor inaugural ceremony to be presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 9 as the stage being set up by the central government will be managed by the partycontrolled Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).

Senior SAD leaders Bikram Singh Majithia and Daljit Singh Cheema on Tuesday held at least four meetings in the Majha region. The two held the first meeting in Amritsar where they addressed a gathering of party workers near the Golden Temple. The second meeting was held at Dera Baba Nanak, the border town that will connect with Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur, the last resting place of Guru Nanak, through the upcoming corridor.

Similar meetings were also held at Wadala Bangar village of Gurdaspur district and the district headquarters. The Akali leaders assigned duties to local leaders to make arrangements for ferrying people to the venue at Shikar Machhian village near Dera Baba Nanak town.
