NO CHHABEEL STALLS THIS SUMMER

LUDHIANA: Serving chhabeel, the chilled sweetened drink, along the roadside during summers is an age-old tradition associated with the fifth Sikh guru, Guru Arjan Dev. This year, the guru’s martrydom day will be observed on May 26, but it is for the first time that neither gurdwaras nor social workers are setting up chhabeel stalls, courtesy the fear of spread of coronavirus. Besides, gurdwaras here have decided not to serve langar this year.
