  1. Hello Punjab Government

    It’s really bad we are proceeding towards the path of disrespect and forget the extreme sacrifice of our great leaders and activists like Sardar Bhagat Singh Ji. It’s really surprised that Punjab Government didn’t declare holiday on the eve of 23rd March when Shaheed Bhagat Singh sacrificed his life for the nation. What we will teach our new generation about his great martyrdom and greatness when we cut off his name from our holidays list. It’s really disturbing Punjab Government has erased the name of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Martyr Day 23rd March from the local holidays list. Being resident of Ferozepur it’s hurting for everyone here. Next time it’s better not avoid National Heroes like Shaheed Bhagat Singh.

  2. 14 th June is not declared holiday in Punjab under Negotiable Act while Chandigarh UT has done so .Sacrifice of Guru Arjan Dev ji should be declared as holiday under NIAct in Punjab to pay regards to the great guru
