Communal peace work, April 1923

C Attributed / requires confirmation Movement

According to a single centenary account, when communal rioting broke out around Baisakhi in April 1923, Samundri directed Akali jathas to patrol the streets and restore calm, and SGPC volunteers then went house to house seeking reconciliation between Hindus and Muslims.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Partially supported — published only with attribution — permits.
