Description
Bathinda: Despite putting strict ban on political rallies in the state due to the rising Covid-19 cases, Vaisakhi celebrations will be held at Takht Damdama Sahib, Talwandi Sabo. The Bathinda district administration has claimed that the Vaisakhi mela will be organised according to Covid protocols from April 11 to 14. A meeting to review mela arrangements was held at Bathinda on Wednesday with Bathinda additional deputy commissioner (ADC) Rajdeep Singh Brar and senior superintendent of police Bhupinderjit Singh Virk in the chair. Usually political parties too had been setting stages on Vaisakhi, but as it is banned, no political rally will be allowed. The farm organisation BKU (Ekta Ugrahan) has announced to hold a congregation near the Takht. ADC Brar said as large number of devotees reach Takht Damdama Sahib during Vaisakhi celebrations, the four-day mela will be organised as per protocols. People will be asked to wear masks, he added. Takht Damdama Sahib manager Paramjit Singh was also present in the meeting.
