Giani Swarn Singh Khalsa, who represents the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and is the incharge of the Sikh Mission in Jammu and Kashmir, apprised the CM of some long-pending issues with the state government there.
The CM instructed his principal secretary SK Sandhu to prepare a detailed note on the issues faced by Punjabis in J&K. Badal said he would take up the matter with J&K CM Omar Abdullah to ensure expeditious redressal.
