The Story in Brief
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami visited the Miri Piri Institute of Medical Sciences and Research on Saturday and assured staff and patients that services and salaries would continue despite the legal dispute with the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC). Dhami said the SGPC had already released Rs 1.40 crore towards salaries and had formed a separate trust to run the institute. The Punjab and Haryana high court dismissed a SGPC-backed trust petition in May, holding that the SGPC exercised pervasive control over the institute. The HSGMC claimed it took possession on July 27 and offered to deposit Rs 1.36 crore for June salaries while asking the SGPC to clear April and May dues. Dhami said the SGPC has filed an appeal and will continue its responsibilities until the court's final decision.
The Indian Opinion
Both the SGPC and HSGMC claim they will protect salaries and patient care, yet the legal tug-of-war has already caused financial strain. The real test is whether the high court's pending appeal resolves the management deadlock or leads to more uncertainty. Whose responsibility is the April and May salary arrears? That will show which side puts patients before politics.
