The annual Urs gathering at the Peer Saai Budhan Shah shrine in Jalandhar has been postponed, according to local authorities.
The Urs, a yearly pilgrimage commemorating the death anniversary of the revered Sufi saint Peer Saai Budhan Shah, was scheduled to take place at the shrine in Jalandhar this week. However, the shrine’s management announced a postponement of the event, citing logistical and safety concerns. The decision was communicated through official channels and local media outlets.
Attendees who had planned to attend the Urs, which typically draws thousands of devotees from across Punjab and neighboring states, were advised to stay tuned for a revised date. The shrine’s authorities emphasized that the postponement was made to ensure a safe and orderly gathering.
The Urs is a significant religious observance in the region, featuring prayers, qawwali performances, and communal meals. The postponement has prompted several local religious leaders to express support for the decision, urging devotees to respect the authorities’ guidance.
