1984 anti-Sikh riot killing memorial: NDMC warns of action against DSGMC


NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court today declined to grant stay on the construction of a memorial at Gurudwara Rakabganj Sahib complex here for those killed in 1984 anti-Sikh riots as NDMC told the court that legal action will be taken soon if they go ahead with the project in violation of the statute. 

The court, however, issued a notice to Delhi government, NDMC, DDA, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee(DSGMC) and its President Sardar Manjit Singh GK and sought their replies by July 17 on former DSGMC President Paramjit Singh Sarna's plea to stop the construction as they have not got approval of competent authority.

Justice Jayant Nath recorded the submissions of NDMC counsel Vivek Sood that "action has been initiated. On June 6, a show cause notice was issued to the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) and its President Sardar Manjit Singh GK in which the legal consequences were also mentioned...It will take action as per law in 2/3 days."
