\nHe shared that Haryana Cabinet Minister Shri Anil Vij also accorded a warm and respectful welcome to the Yatra in Ambala. Thanking him, Kalka noted that the unbroken stream of devotees turning out in large numbers reflects the extraordinary love and reverence people hold for Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib. The Yatra received equally enthusiastic and heartfelt welcomes in Ambala, Shahabad Markanda, and Kurukshetra along its route.
