Jalandhar, Feb. 19 -- The mayor and city council of Stockton, California, on Wednesday officially proclaimed February 4, 2026, as "Saka Nakodar Day", recognising the 40th anniversary of the killing of four unarmed Sikh students in Nakodar, Punjab, in 1986. The proclamation, presented in the presence of mayor Christina Fugazi, honours the memory of the victims killed while participating in a peaceful protest. On February 4, 1986, four youngsters - Ravinder Singh Littran, Harminder Singh, Baldhir Singh and Jhilman Singh - were shot dead reportedly by the police during protests against sacrilege of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in Nakodar, Jalandhar. Baldev Singh, father of Ravinder, had reportedly identified the bodies in the civil hospital of Nakodar. There were allegations that the bodies were cremated by security forces before families could collect them, and that justice eludes families even after 40 years. Accepting the proclamation, Dr Harinder Singh, a Sikh activist, said Saka Nakodar Day, observed annually, served as a time for remembrance, reflection and education. htc...
