DALHOUSIE : AMBARSARIAN TE LAHORIAN DA SWITZERLAND
Dalhousie sinks when it learns that Punjab
is divided
Just a 4 hour journey from Amritsar is the 7000 feet hgh
hill station of Punjabis which was once part of Gurdaspur district. A couple
visiting Dalhousie on May 9, 2009, took we also with them. Dalhousie we
found was truly the queen among hill stations. We had to wear sweaters and
took quilt in the night but the young couple that took us there fell
sick and we had to return the following morning.
I remained busy throughout clicking photographs of the
scenes that captivated my mind. I reproduced an article published in
Punjab Monitor in 1997

Leaving Pathankot as we commence upward journey we see the Ranjit
Sagar dam from distance of course |

S. Ajit singh S. Bhagat Singh 's uncle had come to Dalhousie when the
Independence of India was declared on 14-8-1947. He was shocked to to
know that Punjab stood divided. Death came instantly to him.
