\nHighlighting the contribution of Sardar Teja Singh Samundri, Shri Sandhu said that he shares a special bond with Amritsar. The Teja Singh Samundri Hall, located within the Sri Darbar Sahib complex, stands as a distinctive tribute to his grandfather, Sardar Teja Singh Samundri, and his services to the Panth.
