Earlier, before the end of 2016 - Instead of turbans, Sikhs used to wear Patka under a cap and they were not allowed to grow their beards but after the new rule which rolled on December 2016, Sikhs were allowed to wear turbans and grow their beards up to half an inch long.

People on Twitter are happy about this great news and here are the congratulatory tweets people are showering:
