Allow Gurbani broadcast on other platforms, says Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann

CHANDIGARH: Urging the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) to allow the state government to install advanced broadcast and communication technologies at the Golden Temple, Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday said they (government) can provide all possible help in disseminating the ‘Sarb Sanji Gurbani’ across the globe.

“This endeavour would go a long way in offering an opportunity to the Sangat to listen to the blissful Gurbani besides having a glimpse (darshan didar) of Sachkhand Sri Harmandar Sahib. We are ready to discharge any duty assigned by the SGPC on this behalf,” said an official statement.

In his video message, Mann said it is the need of the hour to propagate the message of Gurbani in every nook and corner of the world and appealed the SGPC to relay Gurbani Kirtan from Sachkhand Sri Darbar Sahib on various communication platforms including satellite TV, radio, FM, social media and mobile apps instead of limiting its reach to a single medium.

“We will provide the latest technology in this regard including latest cameras and broadcasting equipment to relay the Gurbani kirtan through other digital platforms like YouTube, mobile apps, religious channels or any other channel which intend to telecast the same instead of relaying it only from one medium so as to enhance its reach across the world”, said Mann, adding that the Punjab government is ready to bear the expenditure.
