He said the remaining parts of the report were expected soon and the complete report would be tabled, along with the action taken report, in the ensuing Vidhan Sabha session.The commission had submitted the first part of the report to the Chief Minister on June 30. It was forwarded to the state Home Secretary and the Advocate General to examine the findings and suggest action so that the guilty can be brought to book. Sikh radicals have been demanding action against those behind Bargari sacrilege and the Behbal Kalan firing incident.The Commission was set up in April 2017 by the Congress government to investigate incidents of sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib and other religious texts, after rejecting as “inconclusive” the findings of the Zora Singh Commission set up by the previous SAD-BJP government.
Capt to lay stone of lift irrigation scheme : Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh will lay the foundation stone of Rs 60-crore lift irrigation scheme for the Changar area on August 18. As providing water supply in this sub-mountainous area is an arduous task, residents from nearly two dozen villages are forced to shift with their cattle to temporary camps on the banks of the Sutlej every year during summer. The residents of the area get water supply only twice or thrice a week that too just for an hour and their crops are on the mercy of rain god.
