Maharashtra Delays Nanded Gurdwara Act Amendments, Forms Committee to Consult Sikh Community
The Maharashtra government has postponed amendments to the 1956 Nanded Sikh Gurdwara Act following opposition from the Sikh community. A high-level committee, including senior officials, has been formed to consult Sikh stakeholders and gather their views on the proposed changes. The amendments aimed to increase board members and introduce internal elections for leadership, while ensuring management remains with the Sikh community. BJP leaders have urged broader Sikh participation to reach consensus and support a rejuvenation plan for the Takht Sri Hazur Sahib complex.
