The facelift was initiated on the persistence demand of devotes and local residents besides committee members of the Gurdwara, said he.- Sadhu Singh has filed a written reply to Akal Takht on the receipt of serious note took by the later whereupon strong objecting was raised, wherin Akal Takht Jatehdar Gyani Gurbachan Singh had ordained to SGPC to call meeting of all Sikh religious bodies on June 20 on the issue of alleged copying of the architectural design of the holy Golden Temple Amritsar at Gurdwara Sachkhand Angitha Sahib in Sangrur. However, Gyani Gurbachan Singh had also asked MCGSA to stop ongoing construction work which was being done to create replica of Golden Temple Amritsar.
