The historic towns of Sirhind, Fatehgarh Sahib and Chamkaur Sahib, where the four Sahibzadas of the tenth Sikh Guru Gobind Singh attained martyrdom, are located on this road.

It was for the management committees of the Gurdwaras, as well as the Sikh community, in these countries, to put a stop on such acts, he said, pointing out that never in history had any person been barred from entering a gurdwara.

[New Delhi] Year 2017 Saw Acche Din Of Congress Specially In Punjab& Gujrat
Acche Din slogan was given by PM Narendra Modi but now going year witnesses Acche din of his opponent Congress .
Congress Got Cleaned chit in 2G Scam case in CBI Special court .Party’s Ex CM Of Maharashtra Ashok Chavan got huge Relief in Adarsh Scam In Maharashtra High Court.
Party Got New President In Rahul Gandhi and saved party face In Gujrat , Won Three Local Bodies In Punjab
This year saw Congress storming to power in Punjab ,Putting up its second best performance after 1992, the Congress won 77 seats in the 117-member Assembly while the SAD-BJP alliance was relegated to third spot with 18 seats.
.After guiding the party to victory, 75-year-old Amarinder Singh was sworn-in as the state’s 26th chief minister along with nine ministers, including Navjot Singh Sidhu and Manpreet Singh Badal.
The winning streak of the Congress continued during the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha bye-election and civic polls.
After assuming charge, Amarinder Singh took over 100 decisions including announcing the end to VIP culture by deciding to stop use of red and other coloured beacon lights, besides a two-year ban on foreign travel of all ministers.
His government also announced the formation of a Special Task Force (STF) under the leadership of ADGP Harpreet Sidhu to tackle the drug menace.
C M decided not to hold any political conference during Shaheed Jor Mela at Fatehgarh Sahib to respect the sanctity of the event.He is taking full hearted participation In The Celebration Of 350th anniversary of the 10th Guru at Patna Sahab in Bihar .
Navjot Singh Sidhu’s continuation as a celebrity-judge in a TV show also came under cloud during the year. However, Punjab’s Advocate General did not find any conflict of interest between Sidhu’s office as state cabinet minister and his work on television shows.
After the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha seat fell vacant following the death of actor and politician Vinod Khanna in April, Congress put up its senior leader Sunil Jakhar who handed down a crushing defeat to BJP candidate Swaran Salaria from the constituency which was considered as a stronghold of the saffron party.
The stubble burning issue also attained political overtones when Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal sought a meeting with Amarinder Singh to discuss it.But Amarinder Singh refused to meet the AAP leader while asking him to refrain from trying to “politicise” such a serious issue and sought intervention of the Centre to resolve crop residue burning problem.
In another step He has given go-ahead to creation of Directorate of Environment & Climate Change. This will also improve system of granting environmental clearances and hence promote industrial development.
In the later part of the year, Punjab Police claimed to have solved targeted killing cases including the sensational murder of RSS Jagdish Gagneja with the arrest of five accused including a British national. The state police blamed Pakistan’s spy agency ISI for hatching a conspiracy to destabilise the state.
On the vexed Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal issue, Amarinder Singh sought its resolution through negotiations with Haryana even as the opposition party in Haryana INLD vowed to undertake digging of the canal.
However, several leaders of the party were stopped from marching into Punjab in month of February.

Confirmed his meeting, with Navjot Singh Sidhu
He said “I can tell you that I have met him. I hope very soon he will be making his announcement. I found him in a very positive frame of mind. I hope it will be a positive decision,” Amarinder said
Sidhu’s entry into Congress has been speculated for a long time now. His wife Navjot Kaur joined the party recently, giving ample indications that he would also come on board.
Sidhu was earlier in talks with AAP but it did not materialise leading to a split in his recently formed outfit Awaaz-E-Punjab.
Two formidable members of Awaaz-E-Punjab and sitting independent MLAs – Balwinder Singh Bains and Simarjit Singh Bains from Ludhiana, parted ways with Sidhu to join the Arvind Kejriwal led AAP.
Pargat Singh, the other member, joined the Congress along with Sidhu’s wife

He had said that he decided to quit the Lok Sabha “as a mark of protest against the deprivation of the people of my state of the much-needed Sutlej river water.”
Singh was elected to Parliament defeating BJP heavyweight and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley from the prestigious Amritsar Lok Sabha seat
