We didn’t tolerate Aurangzeb & we won’t tolerate his anti-Sikh tactics either."
Order of limitation issued by SDM Rohini
The order of limitations was issued on October 22 by the Sub Divisional Magistrate of Rohini area, Shahzad Aalam. The order was issued to remove encroachment on road and to stop the noise pollution caused due to various activities at the gurudwara.
The order stated that as the gurudwara is built in resedential flats, hence gathering of more than 10 people at a time won't be allowed to avoid public health issues. The prayers would be done within specific timings of 7.15pm - 8.15pm without using microphones or causing noise pollution.
The gurudwara was allowed to open on Sunday mornings between 6.45 am and 7.15 am. While women were allowed to pray through keertans and paths only on the afternoon of Thursdays between 3.30pm - 5.30pm that too without a mic.
Gurupurab and Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti were among exceptional days having no limit of time for prayers.
The order faced huge amount of criticism from BJP leaders and other organisations of the Sikh community.
