Divulging details, SDM Kharar Gurmandar Singh said that the bus was flagged off by Tehsildar Kharar Jaswinder Singh in the presence of S. Jora Singh Mann (father of Cabinet Minister Anmol Gagan Mann) from Majri.
He further said that each batch comprises 43 pilgrims whose boarding and lodging arrangements have been borne by the Punjab Government. All the pilgrims have to undergo a medical examination before boarding the bus to ensure a safe journey.

Bhawna and Aarti, young pilgrims from Majri were seeming very joyous to have an opportunity to pay obeisance to Salasar Dham and Khatu Shyam Dham. Both thanked Punjab Chief Minister for taking the noble initiative to start this pilgrimage, especially for those who could not visit as per their wish because of one and another reason.
