The Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) Minister, KT Rama Rao on Tuesday said the State government would extend all necessary support to the Sikh community.

Participating in the 550th ‘Prakash Utsav’ of Sri Guru Nanak Dev, the first Sikh Guru and founder of Sikh Religion, held at Exhibition Grounds, he said pending issues such as allocation of land for construction of spacious Sikh Gurudwara in Mokila in city outskirts would be expedited. He assured the gathering that the foundation would be laid by the Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao.

The Minister said the issue of regularisation of land in Sikh Chawni, Kishanbagh would be sorted out shortly and government would call for a meeting with senior Sikh representatives and



solve it at the earliest. Telangana was the only State in South India which announced a State holiday on occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti every year, he said.

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, G Kishan Reddy, who participated in the event, recalled the sacrifices made by the Sikh community for the country.

Meanwhile, the community celebrated the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak with religious fervour, gaiety and devotion by offering prayers. 

The community elders estimated over 25,000 people visited the Gurudwaras on Tuesday and participated in religious congregations. Keertan Darbar was organised at Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Afzalgunj on Tuesday night.
