When will Punjab be ok to visit again?

[learningkaur]

We need to take ashes. It’s meant to be within a year right? It doesn’t look like that will happen now.

I personally don't recomend going there within the next year cause we all know what the authorities are like there.

Ok, so you think no one can visit Punjab safely ?

They'll say that you have corona, even if you don't, take you to hospital, get money off you, and god knows what else.

Doctors have been taking organs out of corona patients in India.

Yes I think we’ll have to wait and go over the ‘first year’. I don’t want to take the risk of becoming ill and ending up in an Indian hospital. Does anyone know why they say ashes should be scattered within the year? Is it okay to do after a year?

You can scatter them in the UK, they've started scattering them in the Thames in windsor, I know some Hindus who scattered theirs in the Thames in London.

As mentioned ny @puzzled, you can scatter them here in the UK, there are a few places, you can go to Stratford upon Avon or Leicester, i'm sure there are more around the UK.

As far as going to India, having spoken to relatives over there (Jullundur, Nawanshahr and Chandigarh), I'd avoid it for a while, no only is Covid on the rise there's also an attitude about blaming outsiders for the spread of it.

I'm not sure about the scattering within a year thing, maybe best to ask a Gyani about that.
