Amritsar, October 27

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhal Committee president Bibi Jagir Kaur inaugurated a solar power plant at the Golden Temple.

She said the solar energy would not only be environment-friendly, but would bring financial benefit too.

“Generating electricity using natural resources is very easy in today’s era of technology and this task has been initiated by the SGPC on a priority basis. A total of 3 mW solar power plant is being installed by the SGPC, for which the United Sikh Mission, USA, offered its services. At present, 525 kW plants could be installed on the rooftop of the headquarter and Dharam Parchar Committee office. The rest will be installed shortly.”

She said the work of installing solar plants at Gurdwara Bir Baba Buddha Sahib, Thatha and Gurdwara Shaheed Ganj Baba Deep Singh, Sri Amritsar, is also underway. She also honoured chairman, United Sikh Mission, USA, Rashpal Singh Dhindsa and other delegates with the siropas (robe of honour).
