Punjab declared Anandpur Sahib, Talwandi Sabo, and the Galiara surrounding the Golden Temple as holy cities through a unanimous resolution passed in a historic Assembly session held at Anandpur Sahib. This decision reflects the state’s commitment to preserving the sanctity of significant Sikh religious sites. The resolution also imposed a complete ban on liquor, meat, and tobacco within these holy areas to maintain their spiritual and cultural purity. The session was convened to commemorate the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur, emphasizing his ideals of sacrifice, religious freedom, and universal brotherhood.
