The second “Green Nagar Kirtan”, dedicated to the 556th Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji,, reached Sultanpur Lodhi after commencing from Aahli Kalan village. This is the second Nagar Kirtan organized in flood-affected areas, led by Rajya Sabha member Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal, who has been emphasizing to protect Punjab’s increasingly polluted environment.

During the Nagar Kirtan, Sant Seechewal lauded the people of the Mand region, describing them as symbols of courage, patience, and contentment. He said that even after enduring two months of devastating floods, the residents were rising again with strength and determination. Many farmers have already begun sowing wheat in their fields.

Farmer Balwinder Singh Sarupwal expressed heartfelt gratitude, saying that without Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal Ji’s leadership during the floods, the region would not have revived so beautifully. He added that the people of the Mand area will never forget the selfless service rendered by the sant. the floods had devastated crops across vast stretches of farmland.
Students from Sant Avtar Singh Yadgari Senior Secondary School also participated in the Nagar Kirtan, carrying placards promoting environmental awareness and the message of “Save the Environment.” Children from the Sant Avtar Singh Gatka Akhara showcased their traditional Sikh martial art skills.
