Wishing the Sikhs, who reside in Arunachal Pradesh in huge numbers as state and central government employees, businessmen and entrepreneurs, CM Khandu expressed hope this 'Guru Nanak PrakashUtsav', as the day is called by them, would reinstate the faith and belief on God and spread the teachings of the first Sikh Guru.
