Harjot Singh Bains has made an impassioned plea to the Central Railways Ministry to substantially boost in rail services to the holy city of Sri Anandpur Sahib to facilitate seamless travel for millions of devotees converging to pay homage to the 9th Guru and his devoted disciples Bhai Mati Das ji, Bhai Sati Das ji and Bhai Dayala ji's supreme sacrifice. In a letter written to Railways Minister Sh. Ashwini Vaishnaw and Minister of State (MoS) Sh. Ravneet Singh Bittu, Punjab Education Minister S. Harjot Singh Bains highlighted the anticipated arrival of over 1 crore devotees in Sri Anandpur Sahib for the 350th Martyrdom Day of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. S. Bains has demanded the doubling of Vande Bharat Express services from New Delhi between November 15 and 30, 2025. He also urged the operation of special pilgrim trains from major spiritual centres across country, including Takht Sri Patna Sahib, Takht Sri Hazur Sahib Nanded (Maharashtra), Sri Amritsar Sahib and other major cities, to facilitate seamless travel for devotees attending the grand events scheduled from November 22 to 25, 2025 at Sri Anandpur Sahib. Highlighting the religious significance and sacred history of Sri Anandpur Sahib, the Education Minister noted that the city was founded by Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, served as the sanctuary where Kashmiri Pandits facing religious persecution, sought refuge and protection. From the very soil of Sri Anandpur Sahib the Guru Sahib embarked on his final journey to martyrdom in Delhi for the cause of humanity and freedom of conscience. Later, His sacred "Sees" was reverently brought back to Sri Anandpur Sahib by Bhai Jaita Ji (Baba Jiwan Singh Ji) and cremated here making this soil a living testimony to one of the most revered chapters in the world history.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
