JAMMU: Deputy Chief Minister, Surinder Kumar Choudhary today visited Gurudwaras at Nariyan and Tanda here on the occasion of Baisakhi. While speaking on the occasion, Surinder Choudhary extended his greeting to the citizens and said that the festival brings new hope and happiness into everyone’s life.

He said that Baisakhi, one of the biggest festivals, marks the foundation day of the Khalsa Panth (Sikh order) by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru and it is the first day of the month of Vaisakh which is seen as a celebration of spring harvest, primarily in Northern India. He added that the festival celebrates the spirit of togetherness, gratitude and renewal and motivates people to work with commitment and dedication for the J&Ks development.

Surinder Choudhary cautioned the anti social elements who always try to disturb friendly environment of J&K, adding that they will never succeed in their intentions as people of J&K have strong bonding and harmony in society. Deputy CM also prayed for peace, prosperity, and the overall well-being of the people of J&K.
