We eliminated corruption, nepotism: Haryana CM
Some leaders call us 'Portal Ki Sarkar.' However, the reality is that without more than 100 apps and portals, people won't be able to get the benefits of these schemes: CM.
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, on Tuesday, announced the formation of a 11-member executive committee for the administrative management of all the 52 historical Gurdwaras in Haryana.
The announcement was made after members of the 41-member Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management ad hoc committee met the CM on Tuesday at the Sant Kabir Kutir (Chief Minister Residence) for setting up a separate Haryana Sikh gurdwara Management Committee for Haryana.

In his address, Khattar said the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Act was enacted in 2013, which was later challenged in the court. The people of the Sikh community of Haryana desired that the funds of the Gurudwaras of Haryana should be spent in Haryana only and should not be under the control of the Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, so Haryana’s separate Haryana Sikh gurdwara Management Committee should be formed and later the Haryana home department issued a notification for the formation of a 41-member ad hoc committee.

The CM said now on an 11-member executive committee will be constituted for the Haryana Gurdwara Management Committee, which will have five office bearers and six members. He said this committee will look after the work of administrative management of all the 52 historical Gurdwara Sahib Gurdwaras in Haryana.
He said the 41-member committee is temporary till the further elections are conducted. The responsibility of the election has been given to the deputy commissioner, Kurukshetra. Firstly, the voter list of Sikhs of Haryana will be prepared. This process is expected to take six months. The headquarters of Haryana Gurdwara Management Committee will be in Kurukshetra only, Khattar added.
The CM said when the elections are held after the voters’ list is prepared; the Haryana Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee will also honour the unanimously elected members on behalf of the government.
The Supreme Court on September 22 decided to justify the formation of a separate Haryana Sikh gurdwara Management Committee.
