Punjab Govt. takes over gurdwara

CHANDIGARH JUNE 12. The Punjab Government today took over the control of Talhan gurdwara from Damdami Takshal after the arrest of ten persons from the Dalit and Jat Sikh communities even as the row over the management of the shrine continued.

After the arrests, the Government appointed a receiver to manage the affairs of Gurdwara Sahib Bano Nihal Singh falling in Talhan village in Jalandhar where caste clashes had erupted last Thursday.

"Section 145 of the relevant Act has been promulgated on the gurdwara as per which the Government has appointed a receiver who will manage the affairs of the shrine on a day-to-day basis," the Chief Minister, Amarinder Singh, told presspersons here. — PTI
