With the help of Damdami Taksal, the main gate of Bangla Sahib Gurdwara has been coated with a layer of gold. Five kg gold has been plated on the gate that has a height of 13 feet and width 8.5 feet. 

Two experts were called from Rajasthan for the purpose. They have also made beautiful gold designs on the doors. As it was completed, a large number of people gathered at the gate today and opened it with a song "darshan di je khol kiwar". 

DSGMC president Manjit Singh GK said that the gurdwara committee was not interested in plating gold on the doors, but the community people insisted on it.

The gurdwara committee has not used any money for the purpose. The whole expenditure was made by a Sikh whose name was not to be disclosed. 

The DSGMC president said the DSGMC is committed to working in the field of dharma parchar and education.
