New Delhi, July 13

The Delhi Government today withdrew the order banning the entry of devotees in religious places in south-west Delhi after facing objections from members of the Sikh community.

The order was issued yesterday in view of the Covid situation. The Vasant Vihar SDM issued fresh instructions on Tuesday cancelling the orders. The earlier instructions had been sent not only to gurdwaras but temples, mosques and churches also.

The issue was today taken up by Sikh organisations, including, the Jag Aasra Guru Ott, Shiromani Akali Dal Delhi and the DSGMC. Manjinder Singh Sirsa, DSGMC president, termed the order unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, former Union Minister Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa has written to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying elections to the DSGMC should be conducted now “as Covid is waning”. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
