Gurdaspur: The district administration in Gurdaspur has announced a half-day local holiday in all educational institutions on Tuesday, April 7, on the occasion of the 490th birth anniversary of Goswami Sri Guru Nabha Das Maharaj Ji.
Officials said the decision was taken in view of a grand religious procession being organised to mark the occasion, keeping in mind both public sentiment and necessary security arrangements.
