In a heartwarming display of community service on the occasion of the Maghi Festival, Punjab Police Sewa Committee organized a langar (community kitchen) outside Punjab Police Headquarters (PPHQ) here on Tuesday.

The Maghi festival commemorates the martyrdom of 40 Sikh warriors who fought alongside 10th Sikh Guru Sri Guru Gobind Singh.

During the occasion, Ardas was performed for Sarbat Da Bhala (Wellbeing for all), seeking the well-being and prosperity of all humanity.

Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav accompanied by Inspector General of Police (IGP) Headquarters Sukhchain Singh Gill joined the Ardas, underscoring the importance of community service and interfaith harmony. Later, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) SS Srivastava also attended the event.

The langar was organized as part of the philosophy “Kirat Karo, Naam Japo, Vand Chhako” (Work hard, pray, and share with others) of the first Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. This philosophy emphasizes the importance of selfless service and community welfare.

DGP Gaurav Yadav appreciated the efforts of the Punjab Police Sewa Committee and encouraged them to continue organizing such socio-religious initiatives, which foster a sense of communal harmony and social responsibility.
