According to the Tribune
"About five thousand Sikh pilgrims arrived at Nankana Sahib to attend the annual three-day birth anniversary celebrations of Guru Nanak Dev ji in Gurudwara, which commenced from Monday, The Express Tribune has learnt.
A three-day local holiday for educational institutions has been announced by the district administration. Three thousand of the pilgrims came from India through two special trains via Wahga border. About 1,300 pilgrims including Sikhs and Hindus came from different parts of the country.
Every year, thousands of Sikhs pay obeisance at the shrine, where the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak Dev was born. Guru Nanak Dev was born on the full moon day in the month of Kartik as per the Hindu calendar. Hence, his birthday is celebrated as Guru Nanak Jayantri.
Foolproof security measures have been adopted by the police due to intelligence reports, a senior police officer stated while talking to The Express Tribune."
