LAHORE: Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) Chairman Muhammad Siddiqul Farooq told media on Sunday that Sikhs will be able to get Amrat Jal from Sarover Sahib Hassanabdal starting next month.
He said that it was long desired by followers of Sikh religion to receive the sacred water (Amrat Jal) from Hassanabdal.
“Two water treatment plants are being installed along with other arrangements for making available water,” he said, adding that Amrat Jal had not been available even at the Gurdwara Janam Asthan Nankana Sahib for 67 years. He said that the sacred well had now been cleaned and water from it would begin to be released soon.
He added that there had been a shortage of washrooms and accommodation facilities at Nankana Sahib, which is currently being addressed through the construction of new rooms and washrooms.
Moreover, Farooq said that four yatra promoters had been registered and efforts were being made to register more so as to facilitate yatrees (pilgrims) coming from all over the world.
The ETPB chairman said that all these efforts were being made in keeping with Islamic teachings which advocate harmony and tolerance.
