Radiance News Service
National Commission for Minorities Chairperson, Iqbal Singh Lalpura, has taken up the issue of one-minute halt of train passing through Kiratpur Sahib. There is a railway station at Kirat Pur Sahib but pilgrims coming from eastern India in train 1236MLDM-KOAA, Rajsthan in train 19718DLPC-Jaipur and Maharashtra in 22458 in UHL-NED have to face difficulty in immersing the last remains of their relatives as these trains don’t halt here. It is also the gateway to Himachal. The place is sacred to Sikhs as Haridwar or Varanasi is sacred for Hindus.
Minister of Railways has been requested to solve the problem of Sikh pilgrims by ordering the halt of all trains passing through Kirat Pur Sahib vide letter dated 24th May, 2022.
