Chandigarh, Dec 7 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal leader and Union Minister of Food Processing Industries Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Friday said Union Railway minister Piyush Goel has given a green signal to the long standing demand of Sikh community to start an express train linking all the holy Sikh Takhts which would start its holy journey on January 14, 2019.
Stating this in a statement here, Ms Badal said , " for the Sikh community, it is a double blessing of the Almighty, that this has become possible in the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev ji. Moreover, this coupled with opening of Kartarpur. “We are ensuring that the Sikhs have ‘darshan of five takhts” and visit holy shrine at Kartar Sahib”, she said, adding that the next year would be truly victorious year for the Khalsa."
"This has sent a wave of jubilation amongst the Sikh community, especially Sikh diaspora who visit India for short duration and are keen to have a parikarma of all the Takhts. The railways would provide reservation facility for NRIs who can book the tickets in advance, chalk out their program in advance and won’t have to depend on whims of travel agents, " Ms Badal noted.
