Gatka is a traditional martial art discipline associated with the Sikh gurus. It instills sword and stick fighting abilities as well as self-control. Gatka is thought to have started when the 6th Sikh Guru Hargobind used 'Kirpan' for self-defense during the Mughal rule.
Furthermore, the Sindhi Panchayat of Biragarh has requested the police to increase security at Sindhi Temples as they suspect Nihang Sikhs might visit the Temples and cause a law and order situation.
