4 SGPC staffers sacked for service rules’ violation

Amritsar, June 16

The SGPC has dismissed four of its employees and transferred other staff members posted at Gurdwara Gangsar Sahib, Jaito, in Faridkot district, after they were found guilty of violating service rules and “defaming” the gurdwara management.

The sacked employees are gurdwara manager Kulwinder Singh, clerk Sukhmandar Singh and sewadars Gurbaj Singh and Lakhbir Singh. They allegedly stored liquor on the gurdwara premises and indulged in immoral activities. This was opposed by local residents who staged a dharna outside the gurdwara.

Action has been taken on the basis of a report submitted by SGPC junior vice-president Baba Buta Singh, executive committee member Navtej Singh Kauni and the SGPC’s flying squad. — TNS
