New York: A street in New York City has been officially renamed in honor of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, recognising his legacy of sacrifice, compassion, and steadfast defence of human rights.
The intersection of 114th Street and 101st Avenue in Richmond Hill, Queens - home to the historic Gurdwara Makhan Shah Lubana - will now be known as Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji Marg Way. The decision, approved by the New York City Council earlier this year, was formally commemorated during a special renaming ceremony held over the weekend on the eve of Diwali.
NYC Council Member Lynn Schulman, who moved the resolution for the renaming, said the gesture honours Guru Tegh Bahadur’s enduring message of tolerance and selfless service.
