The Gurdwara Election Commission has announced that new voters for the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee elections will now be registers till September 2.
Earlier, the commission had announced that the new votes would be made till a day before the elections (September 18). Chief Commissioner of the Gurdwara Election Commission, Justice HS Brar, said the date has been advanced due to administrative reasons.
In a circular to the returning officers, the commission has said that anyone trying to cast a bogus vote or found to have given a wrong declaration on being a “keshdhari Sikh”should be arrested at the polling booth. This, he said, would send out a strong message and prevent “non-keshdhari” voters from trying to cast their vote.
Justice Brar said the commission had appointed 28 secretary-level IAS officers from Punjab and Haryana as poll observers. Punjab had 19 observers from Haryana, Haryana would have seven and both Chandigarh and Himachal Pradesh one observer each. Officers from Punjab had been deputed out of the state and those from Haryana in Punjab.
