Valmiki Jayanti Preparations and Yatra in Jalandhar Partly Disrupted by Storm
Ahead of Lord Valmiki Jayanti on October 26, Jalandhar's Bhagwan Valmiki Chowk was renovated with new pillars, lighting, and decorative gates featuring political leaders' images. The shobha yatra began Saturday but was partly disrupted by a dust storm and rain, causing damage to gates and minor injuries. A controversy arose over the placement of AAP leader Deepak Bali's photos on welcome gates, leading to protests and subsequent adjustments. The yatra route includes several key city locations before proceeding to Amritsar.
