Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why has the route changed?
This years Vaiskahi Nagar Kirtan will be the same length, the only change is that it will start at Park Avenue Gurdwara and finish at Guru Nanak Road Gurdwara.
The route has been adjusted following feedback from the local authority and police service.
It will now be reversed to allow Uxbridge Road to reopen sooner, reducing traffic impact on local residents/businesses and ensuring emergency vehicles can pass through Southall.
The overall route length remains the same, preserving the opportunity for Sangat to listen to Kirtan and have Guru Sahibs Darshan on the Palki Truck.
