Gurdwara not to be shifted: Clergy  

Amritsar: Rejecting a plea by airports authorities, the Sikh clergy has said the gurdwara in the vicinity of the Rajasansi airport would not be shifted to another place and is a historic shrine.

The Rajasansi international airport is perhaps the only airport in the world where one can cross the operational area, runway included, to pay obeisance at a Sikh shrine in its vicinity, posing what some claim, a serious security threat. Earlier, keeping in view the security concerns, the Airports Authority of India (AII) had stopped bookings for akhand path at Gurdwara Santsar situated in the airport complex. The ban on cooking and distribution of langar inside the gurdwara premises had annoyed devotees.
