Meanwhile, the manhunt launched to nab 'Waris Punjab De' chief is still underway in Punjab and other states across the country, reported Latestly.
As per an NDTV report, Amritpal Singh has asked the chiefs of Akal Takht, the top Sikh body to convene the "Sarbat Khalsa" in Punjab's Bathinda, that the gathering is likely to take place on the occasion of Baisakhi on April 14.
“Until then, the leaves of all gazetted and non-gazetted officers have been cancelled,” said Gaurav Yadav, the Punjab Director General of Police (DGP).
The cancellation of leaves was sanctioned as the reports suggest that Amritpal Singh has asked the chiefs of Akal Takht to take out a religious procession in the state. The major development comes in the view of the high alert and a possible arrest of the fugitive radical Sikh leader.
Following this, Giani Harpreet Singh, jathedar of Akal Takhth on Thursday announced a three-day annual congregation at Takht Damdama Sahib to celebrate Baisakhi.
As per the reports, the religious procession is likely to be taken out from Akal Takht in Amritsar to Damdama Sahib in Bathinda. A Hindustan Times report said, "There is a marked difference in the annual congregation and 'Sarbat Khalsa'. This is a gathering to mark Baisakhi.”
