SGPC relents, dhadis put off indefinite fast

AMRITSAR: Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Shiromani Dhadi Sabha put off its indefinite fast after the SGPC accepted its demand for enhancing the number of performance hours. Sri Guru Hargobind Sabha president Baldev Singh said, “On the SGPC panel's assurance, we postponed our fast. However, we have sought a written agreement. If we don't get it soon, we will resume our protest.” The group has been in loggerheads with rival faction, the Miri Piri Shiromani Dhadi Sabha over the allotment of hours for the traditional “diwan” at the Akal Takht.
