The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee held an internal committee meeting in Amritsar after receiving a directive from the Akal Takht, the highest temporal authority of Sikhism.
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) convened an internal committee meeting in Amritsar following a formal order issued by the Akal Takht, the supreme temporal seat of Sikh authority. The directive, issued earlier this week, called for the SGPC to address pending matters that affect the management of gurdwaras and related religious affairs.
Sources indicate that the meeting was scheduled promptly after the Akal Takht’s order and was attended by senior SGPC officials and members of the internal committee. While the exact agenda was not disclosed, the gathering is understood to focus on compliance with the Takht’s instructions and on reviewing administrative issues that have been highlighted by the religious body.
Representatives of the SGPC affirmed that the committee will work in line with the Akal Takht’s guidance and will communicate any decisions to the broader Sikh community. The meeting underscores the continuing coordination between the two highest Sikh institutions on matters of religious governance.
