'Sikh community helps in developing Chhattisgarh'

People passing from Rajnandgaon would be definitely attracted by the beauty of this Gurudwara constructed in the heart of the city besides Kolkata-Mumbai National Highway, said Chief Minister Raman Singh who paid a visit to the newly-constructed Gurudwara here on Sunday. Addressing the gathering at the Gurudwara, he said that social harmony is the biggest specialty of the Sikh community.

The members of Sikh community not only preserved their own culture after going to different places of the country but also adopted the local culture at that place. “History tells us that for sacrificing life to save country and religion, Sikh community has always been on the forefront. This community is also contributing in a significant way for the development of Chhattisgarh," he said. Notably the Gurusingh Sabha Gurudwara has been constructed at a cost of `6 crore.

 The Chief Minister further said "when members of Sikh community had asked for land for constructing the Gurudwara, I could not find any other place better than this land besides Budha Sagar on National Highway."The main hall for religious function has been constructed on first floor, while on the ground floor, langar would be run. A free-of-cost Homeopathy hospital will be also operated from the Gurudwara.
