She passed away peacefully at 9:00pm in the presence of her family members.
Antim sanskar for Mata Ji is planned for Sunday December 4th, 2011 in the village of Gaddlee, Jandiala, the native village of Bhai Jinda.
Mata Ji was given the utmost respect by all Panthic organizations as the mother of great Sikh martyr who sacrificed his life fighting Indian tyranny. She represented the ideal of grace, courage and honor – from whom this great Sikh freedom fighter was born.
