Hundreds attend Vaisakhi event hosted by West Midlands Police

The West Midlands Police Sikh Association hosted the event at the force’s Tally Ho! training centre in Edgbaston on Saturday, along with local Gurdwara’s and Sikh charities.

Gurdwaras in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley and Walsall contributed to a Langar, a community kitchen open to everyone who attended for free.

Saturday’s event started with the raising of the Nishaan Sahib and a small procession with local sangat.

It also included sports activities such as kabaddi and weightlifting, as well as arts and crafts for children.

Sundeep Kaur Cheema, from the West Midlands Police Sikh Association, said: “The event, seamlessly blending tradition with education and joyous celebration, undoubtedly left a lasting impact on all who attended, showcasing the profound strength and vibrant spirit of the community.”
