On the auspicious occasion of the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, a special plantation drive was organized today in the East constituency at the initiative of former Amritsar Improvement Trust Chairman, Dinesh Bassi.
Local residents, social organizations, and youth volunteers participated enthusiastically, spreading the message of environmental conservation. During the ceremony, Dinesh Bassi said that the life of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was entirely devoted to sacrifice, truth, humanity, and the protection of righteousness.
The supreme sacrifice he made against oppression and for the safety of the innocent remains unmatched in world history. Bassi added that the teachings of Guru Sahib inspire us to walk on the path of truth, uphold humanity, and work for the welfare of society.
