Incidents of explosions near Sri Darbar Sahib result of Government’s failure: SGPC

Amritsar, May 11, 2023 (Yes Punjab News)
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) President Harjinder Singh Dhami has strongly condemned the explosion that took place in Galiara (corridor) park outside Sri Darbar Sahib last night and termed it as a failure of the Punjab government.

SGPC President, who arrived here early morning after the incident, took stock of the ground situation and while talking to the media, said that if the government had seriously investigated the previous two blasts on the heritage street, then this latest incident would not have happened.

Sharing information about the incident, Harjinder Singh Dhami said that after hearing a loud explosion at around 12:10 am on Thursday, the SGPC employees immediately came into action, and with the help of CCTV cameras they performed the duty of identifying the accused persons who committed this crime besides nabbing and handing them over to the police.

He said that the employees of SGPC and Sri Darbar Sahib carefully checked the CCTV cameras and nabbed the main accused from the verandah of Sri Guru Ramdas Ji Niwas (sarai) at around 4:15 am and handed him over to the police. Along with him, two other suspects were also nabbed and handed over to the police administration, he said.

Harjinder Singh Dhami said that after the incident, the SGPC employees worked with a professional approach and achieved success. He said that during the investigation, the Amritsar Commissioner of Police and Deputy Commissioner of Police, along with other senior police officers were also present, and took necessary action in cooperation. He also appreciated the duty performed by the SGPC with responsibility.

SGPC President said that it is extremely worrying that efforts are being made to disturb the situation in Punjab. He also expressed apprehension that such incidents near Sachkhand Sri Harmandar Sahib are part of some deep-rooted conspiracy. Harjinder Singh Dhami said that the government should think deeply about it and fulfill its due responsibilities. He appealed to the Sangat to come to Sachkhand Sri Harmandar Sahib to pay obeisance without fear.

On this occasion, the SGPC President said that although a large number of CCTV cameras are already installed at Sachkhand Sri Harmandar Sahib, but now these will be expanded further. He said that cameras will be installed at suitable places along the Galiara (corridor) besides Gurdwara Santokhsar Sahib to Gurdwara Saragarhi Sahib on the heritage street. He said it will also be considered and discussed to install the scanners at the entrances of the Sikh shrine.

He asked the government to give special attention to the development and maintenance of heritage street and Galiara. On this occasion, SGPC secretary Partap Singh, OSD Satbir Singh Dhami, assistant secretary Shahbaz Singh, manager Sukhraj Singh, superintendent Malkeet Singh Beharwal, SGPC spokesperson Harbhajan Singh Vakta, additional manager Bikramjit Singh Jhangi, and others were present.
