All set for 75th Annual Nirankari Sant Samagam from Nov 16 to 20
The history of the mission and the main events will be shown at the Nirankari exhibition, which always remains one of the major attractions of the Samagam.
At least three people were killed and 10 others were left injured on Sunday in a grenade attack at a religious gathering in Punjab’s Amritsar district, police said.
According to the reports, two youths, who had their faces covered, rode to the venue of the Nirankari sect’s congregation in Rajasansi area, threw the grenade and escaped.
“A grenade has been lobbed and 5-10 persons have been injured in the incident,” a senior Punjab police official, who visited the incident spot, told reporters.

There were around 500 people at the venue.
The injured people have been taken to the hospital and the bodies of the victims were sent for post-mortem.
Police is currently investigating the attack and analysing the CCTV footage to look for clues to identify the attackers.
Punjab was on alert following an input claiming that a group of six to seven JeM terrorists were reportedly in the state, possibly in Ferozepur area.
The state was put on alert after four persons snatched a SUV from its driver at gunpoint near Madhopur in Pathankot district last week.
