Five SGPC employees fined for dyeing beard 

AMRITSAR: Five employees of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) have been fined with Rs 5,100 each for dyeing their beards. SGPC chief Avtar Singh Makkar said they have been directed to appear before the Akal Takht and seek apology as the act was prohibited under the Sikh Rehat Maryada (Sikh Code of Conduct). Those fined include Paramjit Singh, Sukhminder Singh, both working as SDOs, Hardeep Singh, junior engineer, Gurpreet Singh, draftsman and Amar Singh, working with the Sikh History Board. "I have taken action against them for violating the maryada," said Makkar. When asked why action was not taken against SGPC members who also dyed their beards, Makkar said there was no provision for action against members.
