A bit of history : On 31st October, 1922 A.D the Sikh communities of Gurdwara Panja Sahib stopped the train carrying Sikh prisoners to feed them Langar. The station master told them, “The train shall not stop at this station. The Sikh prisoners had been arrested for cutting Acacia wood for langar (community kitchen) from uncultivated land attached to Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh. The Sikhs managed to stop the train by laying down on the train tracks. Once the train was stopped, the prisoners were fed Langar. Unfortunately a number of Sikhs attained martyrdom.
