SGPC, the apex religious body of the Sikhs, today asked its gurudwaras in Haryana to provide all the help possible, especially food, to the people stuck at various places in the state as the Jat stir has paralysed road and rail traffic.
"We have asked our gurudwaras to offer all help possible. People can have 'langar' in the gurudwaras. They will also be helped in any other way possible," Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee President Avtar Singh Makkar told PTI today.
Due to the Jat stir for quota, a large number of people, including tourists, are stranded at various places and facing a shortage of essential items including vegetables, milk, fruits.
"We have adequate stocks and other necessary arrangements to take care of the people who are in need," Makkar said.
