Mooslewala's death anniversary:
On the eve of the late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala's death anniversary, his village in Punjab's Mansa district payed tributes to the beloved artist with statues, busts, and photographs.

However, given the ongoing elections and soaring temperatures, Sidhu Moosewala's father, Balkaur Singh, announced a simple program. He requested that only villagers and family members attend the event.

"There will be a very simple program tomorrow because there are elections and temperatures are very high. We have told people outside to not come here, only the people of the village and family are coming. Public has been told to not come...Only the religious rituals will be performed," Sidhu Moosewala's father, Balkaur Singh told ANI.

Recently, parents of the late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, Balkaur Singh, and Charan Kaur welcomed a baby boy, almost two years after the singer was killed in Punjab.

Moose Wala had contested the Punjab assembly election on a Congress ticket from Mansa and was defeated by the AAP candidate Vijay Singla by a huge margin of 63,000 votes. Vijay Singla was recently sacked by Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann over charges of corruption.
