CISF bans Sikh staff from wearing kirpan at airport

AMRITSAR: Central Industrial Security Force has banned Sikh employees from wearing kirpans while performing duties at Sri Guru Ram Das International Airport. The force is entrusted with the task of airport security.

"Amritsar is one of the most sensitive international airports in the country and we can`t take chances with security here," said commandant of the force Sharad Kumar on Thursday.

He said Sikh employees were allowed to wear kirpans in airport terminal building and other places but not near aircraft.

The issue came to the fore after CISF prevented one Nirmal Singh from working near the aircraft with the kirpan.

Nirmal Singh, a baptized Sikh, lodged a complaint with Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee asking it to take notice of the issue of interfering with religious affairs of Sikhs.
