Printing of Birs by pvt publishers banned
WSN Network

Amritsar: District magistrate Kahan Singh Pannu here has issued orders to prevent the publication of Birs (copies) of Guru Granth Sahib by private publishers.

The ban order says that the printing, publication and distribution of Birs has been hurting the feelings of Sikhs and, thereby, posing a threat to the law and order situation in the district. It has been issued under Section 144 of the CrPC.

Only the SGPC or any institution authorised by it is authorised to print the Birs, the order said. It shall remain in force till December 8.
