The repair work on the 'samadh' of Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia started on war footing here today. The kar seva began in the presence of Baba Jagtar Singh, a member of Sultan-ul-Qaum Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia Memorial Society, Punjab.

Situated on the premises of Gurdwara Baba Atal Sahib in the Golden Temple Complex, the dilapidated condition of the 'samadh' was first highlighted by The Tribune.

A boundary wall will be constructed around the 'samadh', besides a hall near the structure. Mr
Kulbir Singh Ahluwalia the general secretary of the society said the society would observe the death anniversary of the Sultan-ul-Qaum by holding an akhand path at his 'samadh'. The bhog of the akand path and kirtan will be held on October 19.

He was acclaimed as the supreme leader of the Khalsa Panth after death of Nawab Kapur Singh Faizullapuria.
