JAMMU, July 27: National Commission for Minorities (NCM), has given its nod with regard to the reconstruction of Gurdwara at village Ser Manjla in Ramnagar tehsil of district Udhampur.
The NCM directive came after the Sikh Advisors from J&K to the National Minorities Commission submitted a case file/ representation to the Chairman National Commission for Minorities, Iqbal Singh Lalpura, regarding reconstruction of Gurdwara Charan Kamal Asthan Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Ramnagar.
While giving facts about the legal and social situation, the Sikh advisors submitted that this Gurdwara which was built by the Sikh community members during 1980, was burnt and destroyed by some miscreants during anti-Sikh riots in 1984.
The case file was prepared and moved by the Sikh social worker, Mohan Singh Bagi and Manjit Singh in consultation with all State Advisors to NCM which was steered with the Commission by National Advisors- Lt Gen P S Mehta (Retd) and Col Jai Bans Singh ( Retd), both sons of the soil.
The NCM Chairman Lalpura had assured to take up the case with the Union Government and JKUT Administration. The case was presented to the Prime Minister, who approved the case in the interest of the minority Sikh community in Jammu and Kashmir, a spokesman of the NCM said.
