Punjab BJP leader Pritpal Singh Baliawal has petitioned Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta to rename Chandni Chowk to 'Sis Ganj' in honor of Guru Tegh Bahadur's 350th martyrdom anniversary. The proposal also suggests dedicating metro stations to martyred Sikhs who defended religious freedom against Mughal oppression.

In a significant proposal, Punjab BJP leader Pritpal Singh Baliawal has written to Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, urging the renaming of the historic Chandni Chowk area to 'Sis Ganj' to mark the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur.
