The committee has urged all interested pilgrims to submit their passports by December 25, to ensure timely processing of travel documents.
According to SGPC secretary Partap Singh, a jatha of Sikh devotees will travel to Pakistan in April 2026 to participate in special programmes planned at various historic gurdwardas.
