The chief guest at the event was Dr Aman Puri, consul-general of India in Dubai, Satnam Singh Sandhu chancellor, Chandigarh University, Himani Sood, vice president, Chandigarh University. Special ardas (prayer) at the Gurudwara was also conducted for the rulers of the UAE and the prime minister of India for good health and prosperity.
Dr Surender Kandhari, group chairman of Guru Nanak Darbar in Dubai, said: "Respecting the otherness of others is an essential part of tolerance and acceptance of religions. The UAE’s model of peaceful coexistence is an example for the world. Over 200 nationalities living together is a great example of a perfect, harmonious society. To create awareness amongst the people, the UAE Government has taken many initiatives and laws and it is our duty to follow these rules diligently."
