Sikh pilgrims, who arrived in Pakistan to attend the 184th death anniversary of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh, have praised the Pakistani government for making “good arrangements” for their security, stay and other arrangements.

The pilgrims arrived at Gurdwara Janam Asthan, Nankana Sahib on Saturday and performed their religious rites. It would be their three days visit.
