Party workers led by district president Rajinder Beri offered flowers and garlands on Nehru's photo at Congress Bhawan here.
Beri said that Nehru played an important role in the development of the country, especially that of Punjab.
The former PM was a non-partisan leader and had an unmatched quality to take quick decisions without caste and class considerations, he added.
