Baba Chambliyal shrine to be symbol of peace

“Prevailing situation and relations between two neighbouring countries is known to everyone worldwide but we want that peaceful and cordial relations develop between India and Pakistan,” she told reporters after paying obeisance at the Shrine of Daleep Singh Manhas commonly known as Baba Chambliyal. 

“Fights and estranged relations are known to the outer world but at the same time, good gestures and occasions like Baba Chambliyal, where people from both the sides repose faith, are not highlighted,” she added. “We want to develop this place and also wish that more routes get opened so that people from both the sides visit each other, friendly contacts should be developed for further strengthening the ties and peace prevails, what else,” said Ms Mufti.

The Chief Minister also offered ‘chadar’ at the shrine and prayed for peace and harmony between India and Pakistan. People on this side of the border participate in the fair at the Hindu shrine of ‘Baba Chambliyal’ while devotees in Pakistan visit village Saidanwali on the Zero Line, and organise a three-day fair and wait for ‘Shakkar’ and ‘Sharbat’ of Baba Chambliyal’s ‘dargah’. 

Earlier BSF personnel and Pak Rangers exchanged sweets and fruits as a part of pious occasion at ‘no man’s land’.
