He will also visit the Durgiana Mandir and then the Sri Ram Tirath Sthal.
The chief minister, who reached Amritsar last evening after a visit to Tarn Taran, had been planning the Harmandar Sahib visit since taking over the reins of government in the state but had been constrained by work issues and a relapse of his foot injury, with doctors advising him restricted movement, the spokesman said.
Recently, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) had criticised Amarinder for not paying obeisance at the Golden Temple, Sikhism’s holiest shrine, after becoming chief minister.
