Pushkar Singh Dhami, the chief minister of Uttarakhand, was met on Sunday by a delegation headed by Sukhbir Singh Badal, the president of the Shiromani Akali Dal and a former deputy chief minister of Punjab. SAD’s public relations officer posted photos from the gathering. Badal paid Chief Minister Dhami a visit at his office in Dehradun, the state capital. After the meeting, Badal spoke with members of the media and said he had discussed two issues pertaining to Sikhs living in Uttarakhand.
“There were two main issues related to the Sikhs residing in Uttarakhand. One of these issues pertains to the identification of land at Gurudwara Gyan Godri.”
“The honourable CM assured that he will invite a Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) delegation for site selection. The second issue is related to farmers whose land got bifurcated after Uttarakhand was carved out as a separate state,” the former Punjab deputy CM told reporters.
He said CM Dhami assured the delegation that the issues raised would be addressed.
“CM Dhami assured that he will soon form a committee to address and resolve these issues,” Badal added.
Further details are awaited.
