Members of both Hindu and Muslim communities worked together, underlining the long-standing tradition of peace and mutual harmony that defines the Borzar area.
Locals said the collective involvement has turned the coordination centre into a meeting point of unity and shared devotion.

The three-day programme will feature religious discourses, spiritual observances and cultural events.
Sharing details of the schedule, a member of the organising committee said, “The main programmes of the 48th session will be held on January 30 and 31, and on February 1. As part of the preparations, the Guru Aakhon Pratistha was conducted at the namghar today, marking the spiritual beginning of the session.”
