Union Minister of Food Processing Industries Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Wednesday urged Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang to take strict action against the miscreants who broke the boundary wall of Gurudongmar gurdwara in North Mangan district of Sikkim.
In a letter to the Sikkim CM, the Union minister requested for ensuring adequate security arrangements at the gurdwara premises.
A few miscreants had recently tried to break the boundary wall of the Gurudongmar shrine. While asserting that this is in violation of the directions of the High Court as well as the Supreme Court, she urged the Sikkim CM to ensure that the status quo of the gurdwara is not disrupted.
She further said that earlier, a local panchayat had attempted to take over the gurdwara land by removing the holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib and dismantling the Nishan Sahib. The Gurudongmar gurdwara is a revered place for Sikhs as it was constructed at the sacred site that was blessed by Guru Nanak with his holy touch.
