committee members—Jagsir Singh Mangeana, Manwinder Singh Khaparkheri, Surjit
Singh Kang, Sher Singh Mandwala, Bhupinder Singh Asandh, Bibi Kuldeep Kaur
Tohra, Gurpal Singh Gora and Amarjit Singh Bhalaipur—appeared at Gurdwara
Sargarhi Sahib and they started sweeping the street with brooms.

doing so, the SGPC staff, assistants and security guard were also seen
accompanying them.They will do so for two days more.

of the fire incident and failure in checking the misappropriation in publishing

to hold two Akhand Paths for repentance, besides sweeping the street.
