The SGPC may however label new year calendar as “Nanakshahi Year 547”.
“Sources said the calendar would be published only in Gurmukhi and it would not mention dates in Roman numbers. If the SGPC indeed went ahead with the move, it would spell the end of the amended Nanakshahi calendar on March 13”, notes The Tribune (TT).
