The Punjab government is set to declare Anandpur Sahib and the Galiara around the Golden Temple in Amritsar as holy cities. The decision will be announced in the special Vidhan Sabha session that will begin at Anandpur Sahib on Monday.
This is the first time since the construction of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha that a session is being held outside the Assembly building.
The session is being organised to commemorate the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur.
