Thousands of people bid adieu to Baba Labh Singh Ji, watch video
Baba Lai Singh Ji cremation: Last rites of Sant Baba Labh Singh, Chief organizer of Gurdwara Anandgarh Sahib, who passed away after a cardiac arrest at a hospital in Sri Anadpur Sahib, were conducted at Kiratpur Sahib on Tuesday. He was admitted to Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Multiplex Hospital, where he took his last breath at the age of 96. Dr Palwinder Jit Singh Kang confirmed the details.
Sant Baba Labh Singh was known for the extensive public and community service work he had been engaged in for decades. He got seven bridges constructed in Punjab and Haryana, which earned for him the title of, “Pullan Wala Baba.” Last year, he contributed generously to the construction of a 600-ft bridge on the Satluj river.
Besides, he was involved in the construction of six more bridges. Five of these are located on the Satluj, near Anandpur Sahib and one on the Ghaggar river in Haryana. The network of bridges came as a huge relief for people, who used to undergo an ordeal every monsoon. https://www.facebook.com/ptcnewsonline/videos/403153763643984/

On an average, the Gurdwara catered to around 3,000 persons per day. Also Read: Joint delegation from Sikh bodies leave for Sri Nankana Sahib in Pakistan
