Karnal, July 28 -- Days after the executive committee of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC) decided to take over the Miri Piri Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in Shahabad in Kurukshetra, committee president Jagdish Singh Jhinda on Monday said it has peacefully taken over the hospital. Earlier, the HSGMC had written to Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami, asking him to hand over the possession of the institute within three days. However, after reportedly receiving no response, the Haryana committee members, including Jhinda, reached the institute on Monday. Speaking to the media, Jhinda said that the SGPC was managing the hospital through Miri Piri Trust, but the HSGMC has now taken over the management. He said that since hospital staff salaries were pending, they were forced to stage a protest. "Now, it has been decided that on Tuesday, the HSGMC will deposit the salary for June, which is about Rs 1.36 crore, and the salary for July will also be released on time. The SGPC should release the salaries for April and May, as they were running the institute then, and we request them to do so. We will send them a letter in this regard and if they fail, we will approach the court," the president said. Jhinda requested the staffers who left the hospital due to salary backlog to rejoin their duties so that patients are not hassled, as the OPD and other services have resumed after the strike ended on Friday....
