Devotees also offer prayers at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib with COVID-19 protocols in place.
"We have been following COVID-19 norms from 20 March. We installed sanitizer machines and no one is allowed to come without a mask in Gurudwara," said Ranjit Singh, Head Priest at Sri Bangla Sahib Gurudwara.
A resident of Punjab said that people come here from across the country to celebrate Guruparv. "Arrangements are good here we have been directed to wear a mask and maintain the social distancing."
