Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
Chandigarh, The Punjab Congress President, Mr Partap Singh Bajwa, today felicitated the people on the auspicious occasion of Diwali- the festival of lights, and Bandi Chhor Diwas.
In a message on this sacred occasion, Mr Bajwa said that Diwali symbolized celebration of the victory of light over darkness, good over evil and hope over despair.
He said Diwali had special significance for this region as it also marked the ‘Bandi Chhor Diwas’ which is celebrated to facilitate the release of 52 Hindu kings from the Gwalior fort by Sixth Guru Sri Hargobind Sahib on this day in 1612.
He appealed to the people to celebrate Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas with traditional fervor and gaiety.
