kdsingh80 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 http://www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20101231/punjab.htm#12 Ferozepur, December 30 To bring the people, especially youths, out of the vicious cycle of drug addiction, the SGPC has decided to open three de-addiction centres at Bathinda, Ferozepur and Ludhiana. SGPC president Avtar Singh, who was here yesterday in connection with a religious function, said all arrangements for the opening of these centres had been made. The SGPC had been looking for suitable doctors to run the centres and had approached the PGI, Chandigarh, and other institutes for the same. “Doctors will be given all facilities apart from handsome salaries. The entire expenditure will be met by the SGPC,” said the SGPC chief, adding that 10,000 persons had been treated at a centre being run in Guru Ram Dass Medical College, Amritsar, by the SGPC so far. The SGPC chief further said they would approach Gurdwara Election Commissioner Harphool Singh Brar and urge him to hold the SGPC elections by February-end next year. He said the SGPC had also been laying stress on spreading religious teaching among the masses. Students belonging to the Sikh religion would be educated about their culture, history, language and heritage and those who would be “absolute” Sikhs as per the SGPC, would be sent to a foreign university for higher studies, he added. — TNS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithar Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Ha ha..... You can almost see the nepotist abuse that is going to take place already. This isn't a new concept. SGPC run institutions have reservation seats for Sikhs (saabat soorat). Once in a while some people who don't agree with it take the SGPC to the court but they usually end up losing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdsingh80 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Ha ha..... You can almost see the nepotist abuse that is going to take place already. When SGPC or any other Gurdwara institute don't do anything then people say they are not doing anything ,when they announce they will do then people say It is not going to work because of corruption.Could people Please tell SGPC what they should do Anyway I believe it is positive step even if they take Donation for 1000 persons and actually it reaches to 100 person because something is better than Nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
