350th Prakashotsav: MCD offices to close for festivities

Offices of the three municipal corporations in Delhi will be closed tomorrow on the occasion of the 350th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh.

The birth anniversary of the 10th Sikh Guru is being celebrated across the country with special festivities lined up in Patna where he was born in 1666.

"North and East Corporations' offices and associated offices will be closed tomorrow on the occasion of the 350th birth anniversary of Shri Guru Gobind Singh," a senior civic official said.

South Delhi Mayor Shyam Sharma said that "SDMC offices and associated offices will be closed tomorrow on the occasion".
 

Earlier this week, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had gone to Patna to pay obeisance at Takht Harmandir Sahib and Punjab Congress President and former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh offered prayers at the holy Sikh shrine yesterday.

Bihar government has made elaborate arrangements for the celebrations, and gurudwars in Delhi are also marking the occasion with festivities.
