Happy New Year 2013

SAD ( Badal ) First list of candidates for DSGMC elections

Sehajdhari Sikh party to take part in gurdwara elections, says party president

BARNALA: Sehajdhari Sikh Party president Paramjit Singh Ranu has said the party will seek votes for Sikh candidates of good moral values in the ensuing elections to Delhi Sikh Gurdwara managing committee(DSGMC).

The DSGMC elections are to be held in January 2013.

Ranu said "after Punjab and Haryana's high court verdict of restoring voting right to Sehajdharis and no stay granted by the Supreme Court in an SLP by SGPC, Sehajdharis stand allowed to take part in DSGMC elections".

Ranu clarified that those who are baptized after partaking Amrit are the Amritdharis and all others who are followers of Guru Granth sahib and are non-baptized are the Sehajdharis irrespective of unshorn hairs or shaved beards.

He claimed about 85% of total Sikh population across the world comprises non-baptized Sikhs and ignoring them in Gurdwara elections is unjustified.

Ranu said that a five members committee which includes Haryana unit president, Darshan Singh Gurgaon, youth wing presidents, Jagtar Singh Hissowal, Jagtar Singh Dhaliwal, Manjit Singh Sanghera and Advocate Ranjit Singh has been constituted to study the election scene at Delhi.

This team will identify good candidates for the elections and will plan the election strategy.

Beware ! violators, you are being filmed

RWAs film violators’ videos, Upload on website : East Delhi RWAs Joint Front, a Federation of RWAs, has come up with a novel idea to fight against violation of traffic rules and illegal entry of commercial vehicles in various residential colonies of east Delhi.

With this unique initiative, the RWAs areas are using video cameras as their weapons to store live footage of commercial vehicles that are illegally plying 24*7 in the inner lanes of the residential colonies. Besides this, they are also filming videos of the areas where traffic is out of control due to the absence of traffic police officials. Initially, RWAs of Geeta Colony and Krishna Nagar took a step forward and raised their issues through this campaign.

 

Residents of the area also taking active part in this campaign and helping the RWAs in successful conduction of this campaign.  At present, overloaded heavy vehicles pass through residential roads of Geeta Colony and Krishna Nagar at any given time. But, the Traffic Police have fixed a time schedule and restrcuted the entry of commercial vehicles here. The timings are 8 to 11 in the morning and 5 to 8 in the evening but evidently, nobody follows the rule. "These drivers park their heavy trucks in the colony roads in a haphazard manner and create problems for us. Traffic police officials stand on the road but never issue challans. We made 2-3 videos of the trucks plying in our area in the morning and evening and uploaded them on the traffic police’s website,” said Madhu Khura, a resident of Geeta Colony.

The residents feel that many people have lost their lives in road rage but the traffic police least bothered. At many signals, traffic cops are missing which leads to accidents. BS Vohra, president of the federation shared, "This is a common problem in Delhi and should be checked by the authority. We have spotted various areas of east Delhi where violation of traffic rules are very common. We are filming videos and uploading them on Delhi Traffic Police’s Facebook page. Recently, one of my very close friends met with a road accident and died on the spot near Krishna Nagar when a commercial vehicle hit him and escaped from the area. That was the moment, I decided to start this campaign and I hope this will help in saving many innocent lives.”

 

“We have also collected many evidences where traffic rules are getting violated every now and then. Besides uploading these video on authority websites, we have also fixed an appointment with the ACP of our area to show case what we have done so far to check the traffic problem in the various area of east Delhi,” he added.

Within a short span of time, this campaign has brought many positive responses from the authority. Initially many traffic cops were missing at various junctions of Nirman Vihar, disused canal road, Laxmi Nagar road that leads to Jhilmil Colony but after this initiative traffic cops have woken up and started working actively in the area. Another positive response is that a traffic light is going to be installed near Happy School.
"We are getting support from the residents and we are happy that traffic cops have started taking us seriously and working to solve our woes," Vohra added.

"The colonies are congested and it is difficult to keep a track on entry of illegal vehicles. This is good initiative by the residents. RWAs showed us the video of illegal entry of heavy trucks in Geeta Colony and Krishna Nagar and we took strict action.
Basant Kumar, Traffic head constable  "

Pak Allows Delhi Sikh Body to Renovate 2 Gurudwaras

Pakistan government has authorised the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee to do renovation work at two historic Gurudwaras situated in the country.

"They have asked the DSGMC to conduct the 'kar sewa' of Gurudwara Dera Sahib, Lahore and Gurudwara Ber Sahib, Sialkot," DSGMC president Paramjeet Singh Sarna said today.

Sarna was on a visit to Pakistan and returned today.

The Dewan hall of Gurudwara Dera Sahib would be raised and we would build it new, he added.

When asked about old structures where Guru Granth Sahib has been installed, he said as of now no decision has been taken to disturb the old structure.

"We would take into confidence the Archaeological department of Pakistan in this regard," he said.

"We will also form an expert committee along with the finance committee to carry out the construction work," he said.

Sarna also claimed that the PETPB has also authorised DSGMC to carry out maintenance work at an inn at Nankana Sahib, which has a capacity to house 2,000 devotees.

"The DSGMC will bear the cost," he said.

There are more than five hundred Sikh Gurudwaras and other historical Sikh places in Pakistan, except 20 all others are in bad condition.
