Malerkotla, January 17
The state-level Kuka Martyrs' Day function was a low key affair this year even though a large number of followers of the Namdhari sect participated in the function here today.
The function was organised at the Namdhari Shaheedi Samarak here to pay tributes to 66 Kuka martyrs, who were blown off with cannons by the British on January 17 and January 18, 1872 here. A large number of Namdharis paid obeisance at the Kuka martyrs' memorial that is a 'Khanda', with 66 holes, signifying the 66 martyrs. Mata Chand Kaur, widow of Satguru Jagjit Singh, and new chief of the Namdhari sect Satguru Uday Singh were also present.
