J&K | LG visited Jhiri Mela and paid obeisance at Baba Jitto Shrine today. The 10-day long annual event to commemorate the martyrdom of Baba Jitto & Bua Kodi is witnessing gathering of lakhs of people from different parts of the country especially Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and UP.

Supreme sacrifice made by Baba Jitto is exemplary for each one of us to emulate. Our farmers are symbol of hard work & dignity. An enlightened society should ensure justice to the community, which is playing a vital role in serving & nurturing humanity.

We must focus on community driven development. Locals, PRIs members and other stakeholders of the society should come together to create an institutional mechanism to improve the facilities for devotees visiting this historical Mela.
