CHAKWAL: As many as 200 Hindu pilgrims are expected to arrive at Katas Raj from India tomorrow (November 26).

During their three-day stay the pilgrims will pay obeisance to Lord Shiva.

A ceremony in the honour of the pilgrims will be held at the reception hall while the Punjab government has chalked out a foolproof security plan for their protection.

The pilgrims will be staying at the hostel of the Mining School at Katas Raj. Heavy contingents of police will be deployed around the temple complex of Katas Raj while the temple will be decorated with lights to give a festive look.
