Patiala: A Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee panel has finalised a place to build a memorial dedicated to those killed during the Operation Bluestar in 1984.
In its report submitted to SGPC two weeks ago, the committee proposed that the memorial would be build between Shri Akal Takhat Sahib and the Nishan Sahib of Miri-Piri in front of Darshani Deodi of Golden Temple, sources said here today. The committee proposed that a small room would be constructed and the names of those who have been killed in action would be engraved on the black marble which has to be affixed around it.
Notably, the chief of radical Damdami Taksal Harnam Singh Dhuma, who is also a member of the sub-committee, had raised the issue of the construction of memorial during the inauguration of Fateh-Burj at ChapparChiri on Wednesday. The SGPC executive committee had passed a resolution to this effect twice-- first on February, 20, 2002 and then three years later on May 27, 2005.
