“The decision was taken in a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal... the cost of the pilgrimage, including about ₹1,600 that has to be given to cross the border, will be borne by the Delhi government,” said Jarnail Singh, vice-chairman of the Punjabi Academy.

He also said that a ‘Guru Nanak Digital Museum’ will be set up at a cost of ₹10 crore at Dilli Haat in Janakpuri.
