Amritsar, September 27
When Amritsar DC Rajat Aggarwal convenes the first meeting of the newly elected SGPC members, it will be a rare occasion as in the past 50 years no non-Sikh DC has got the opportunity to do so.
Aggarwal took charge as Amritsar DC in June, succeeding Kahan Singh Pannu. It was after 34 years that the holy city got a regular non-Sikh DC. The last non-Sikh DC in Amritsar was JD Khanna( 1975 to 1977).
Amritsar has mostly had Sikh DCs post-Independence. However, there is no clarity whether the DC of Amritsar would preside over the first meeting of the SGPC during the pre-Independence period.
