Akalis flay land allotment to Radha Soami sect

Satyal, who was accompanied by Sarabjit Singh Longia, another Akali leader and Jasbir Singh Kandhari, founder principal of the Gurmat Missionary College said, “there were many other religious bodies, whose cases for the transfer of government land were still under consideration”. The leaders asserted that any government land should be allotted to the sect through auction and not at “concessional rates.”

Longia further alleged that despite assurances by the party high command, a beer bar close to Sadavart Gurdwara near here has not been closed. He added that all their complaints made to the Excise Department had fallen on deaf ears.

The leaders also warned the administration that they would file a legal suit, if proper attention was not paid to the poor civic amenities in the city.
