Inside of scouts’ centre
Jalandhar, September 4 The trainees are trained in the hall which has broken doors and windows. Wild vegetation on all sides is home to mosquitoes and flies, making the trainees vulnerable to infections and uneasy nights. The toilet doors are perforated and can’t be bolted from inside. The compound wall in the front collapsed during a recent spell of rain.An old wooden table in a corner inside the main hall adjacent to the toilet is all that is for a kitchen. A visitor has to walk a muddy path to enter the headquarters. In contrast to the training area, the office of the training staff is well furnished.

Book released
Jalandhar, September 4 “My work gives a detailed account of the role played by the self-claimed Gurus of the Mina sect, particularly Pirthi Chand, Miharban and Harji. The motive of the Minas was to establish their own guruship,” said Dr Simarjit Singh. In his book, the author has tried to explore the origin and history of the Mina sect and place it in the broader context of the sectarian developments within the early phase of Sikhism. He claims in his book that the Minas had even written poetry using the name of “Nanak”. The works produced by the Mina Gurus have been presented in this book.
