The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has announced plans to increase the number of Sikh ex-servicemen deployed for security at the Golden Temple, following a recent sacrilege attempt at the revered shrine.
Confirming the development, Golden Temple general manager Major Singh stated that the decision to induct additional Sikh ex-servicemen has been taken, but the exact number of new recruits will be determined by the executive committee.
Currently, the SGPC employs approximately 35 Sikh ex-servicemen in its Sewadar Surakhya Dasta. The new candidates will undergo a 10-day training program at Shahid Sikh Missionary College before being assigned to duty.
