It also said that these prominent institutions can work with the department of planning and architecture of Guru Nanak Dev University in Amritsar. JALANDHAR: An online petition, addressed to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, is requesting him to establish “Pind (village) Kartarpur Sahib as the heritage village of Baba Nanak”, as envisioned and established by the Guru and not as a town with modern aesthetics incongruent with the spirit of the holy place. It has also said that village shops or bazaar should be set up in the new complex to encourage commerce as would have existed in the guru period. Art of traditional musicians, rababis and folklorists paying tribute to Baba Nanak and his boli should be encouraged, it has added. Only traditional artefacts, handlooms and foods prepared by local artisans and vendors should be allowed in the bazaar..
