Suraj Kund Craft Fair Starts From 1 Feb to 15-Feb 2013

Posted on Thursday, 31 January 2013 by Punjabi Articles


Just a meagre 8kms away from south Delhi, you can relax and unwind in the most comfortable and classic confines of Claridges. The hotel is pretty near to the festival’s venue. After a sumptuous breakfast you can hit the venue on a wonderfully sunny morning. It is an annual festival held in the month of February, when the winters just about to exit and welcome the spring. 
It is a beautiful time to visit this historic place surrounded by the silent Aravalis. It is known to be once a lake dedicated to the Sun God. It is a vast, circular and a grey stone structure which drapes itself with brightly coloured thatched houses, tree swings, brightly painted mud walls and creatively decorated stalls and shops.

Faridkot Abduction Case Victim’s parents to approach HC

Posted on Monday, 8 October 2012 by Punjabi Articles

The aggrieved parents of 15-year-old Shruti, who was abducted from her house here a fortnight ago, have decided to move the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seeking a CBI probe into the incident.

“With the police trying to project the case as that of elopement, we are left with no other option but to approach the High Court for a CBI probe,” said the victim’s father, Ashwani Kumar.

“Shruti was kidnapped by a gang on September 24. The police has failed to trace her whereabouts or nab the gang leader, Nishan singh, who is facing 16 criminal cases. Now, the police is suggesting that it is a case of elopement, not one of kidnapping,” said Swaran Singh, member of the local Action Committee that has been formed to get justice for the aggrieved parents.

Haryana Govt dept prescribes ‘decent’ dress code for staff

Posted on Wednesday, 9 May 2012 by Punjabi Articles


As if khaps of Haryana were not enough to guard the “conservative” image of the state and the skewed sex ratio did not underline the male dominance in society adequately, the Haryana Women and Child Department (WCD) has now passed a diktat to enforce “decent” office dressing for its staff.

This becomes all the more pronounced given the fact that everybody from the minister to the Financial Commissioner, the Principal Secretary and the Director, WCD, are all women.

The directive, issued by a superintendent for the then Director (she was transferred as the Deputy Commissioner, Karnal, in the reshuffle effected on May 4), Renu S Phulia, heading a department working for women development, was passed a fortnight back and circulated to the field staff last week.

Haryana court issues warrants against Sikh Jathedar, Akal Takht warns against arrest

Posted on Friday, 22 July 2011 by Punjabi Articles


 A court in Haryana has issued non-bailable warrants against Jatehdar of Takht Damdama Sahib Balwant Singh Nandgarh. Takht Damdama falls in Talwandi Sabo town of Bathinda district in Punjab. So far no Sikh Jathedar had ever appeared before any court of law in his official capacity.

Jatehdar Akal Takht Gyani Gurbachan Singh talking to Punjabnewsline.com here today said, “Nandgarh would never appear in the court law in the capacity of Jatehdar Takht Damdama Sahib. Since, so far, no serving Jatehdar ever appeared in any of the worldly court. Moreover, no worldly court is above Akal Takht the highest Sikh Temporal Seat”.
Adding further, Gyani Gurbachan Singh said, “If Haryana police comes at Takht Talwandi Sabo, in such circumstances, the entire Sikh community would stand by Nandgarh at the time of arrest. It is not as easy as Haryana police thinks”.
Gyani Gurbachan Singh said that a complaint against Jatehdar Nandgarh was filed in the State of Haryana by one of the follower of Dera Sacha Sauda Sect falsely with the allegation that sentiments of followers of Dera Sacha Sauda Sect were hurt during religious discourse of Nandgarh.
Gyani Gurbachan Singh extending support to Nandgarh, said that he had never uttered anything wrong but whatever he had said was right as per the Sikh religious rituals and community always stands with him.

This is not first time wherein such situation occurred for the Sikh Community as well for Jatehdar Akal Takht, as earlier in 1980 Jathedar Akal Takht Amritsar Gurdial Singh Ajnoha was summoned in the court but he didn’t appeared in the court of law keeping in view the respect of highest Sikh temporal seat, and at last complainant himself had withdrawn his complaint and case was dismissed. 


 Second time, once Bhai Ranjit Singh Jatehdar of Akal Takht was also asked to appear in the court when he had come out from bars after spending 14 years for assassinating the chief of Narnkari Sect Baba Gurbachan Singh, but when final Session Court verdict was pronounced, he was asked to face eight months more jail, but Bhai Ranjit Singh had out rightly rejected the court order by saying he would neither appear in the court nor surrender to go jail. Then Chief minister of Punjab himself Parkash Singh Badal, alongwith other Akali stalwarts including Surjit Singh Barnala, then SGPC chief Gurcharan Singh Torha met the then Prime minister I.K. Gujral who took up  the case before president whereupon his rest of the sentence was condoned. Ranjit Singh on April 24, 1980, had shot dead the then head of the Mission Baba Gurbachan Singh.
Third time, Gyani Kewal Singh Jatehdar of Takht Damdama Sahib Predecessor of Nandgarh was booked in murder case of her daughter-in-law was also slapped murder case and asked to appear in the court. At That time Kewal Singh appeared in the court and faced trial in the court but after tendering his resignation from post of Jatehdar. But later he was acquitted by the court of law.
