The procession is led by Sardar Paramjit Singh, former Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) president, and includes representatives from different sections of the Sikh community in India. The Nagar Kirtan would enter Pakistan through the Wagah border on Thursday, October 31. The Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, with the support of Pakistan government, has prepared a detailed programme, spanning over a week, for the visiting devotees to perform different religious rituals at Sikh temples across the country, particularly Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur Sahib. A special jatha led by Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee and DSGMC visited Nankana Sahib from July 30 to August 1 to kick start the celebrations of the founder’s 550th anniversary.
