Ahead of Shaheedi Sabha, Special Director General of Police (Law and Order) Arpit Shukla visited Fatehgarh Sahib on Monday and reviewed the security arrangements there to ensure that the event would take place smoothly and securely in the district.

The three-day annual Shaheedi Sabha to pay homage to Chotey Sahibzade — Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh, the youngest sons of the 10th Sikh Guru Shri Guru Gobind Singh, would be held at Fatehgarh Sahib from December 25 to 27.

Shukla, accompanied by DIG (Ropar Range) Harcharan Singh Bhullar and Fatehgarh Sahib SSP Ravjot Grewal, briefed the DSP and SP rank officers and 3,200 police personnel deployed to ensure foolproof security arrangements for Shaheedi Sabha.

He said that many new initiatives have been implemented by the Fatehgarh Sahib Police to ensure peaceful and smooth conduct of the Shaheedi Sabha this year so that the pilgrims do not face any kind of hassle in paying obeisance to the Chotey Sahibzade.

Shukla said 20 parking spaces have been reserved and shuttle service between the parking area and Gurdwara Sri Fatehgarh Sahib has been extended to 100 buses for the convenience of devotees.
