Prayagraj: Like every year, the Lohri festival was celebrated at the Lok Sevak Mandal Lajpat Bhawan in Kalyani Devi Prayagraj. National President of the Lok Sevak Mandal, Rajkumar Chopra, said that this festival of Punjab is a festival of taking a pledge, with the sacred fire of Lohri as witness, that we should follow the path of religion, culture and human values.
