The old Gurdwara; was being run by the villagers from the “Dharam shalla” of the village which was planned as sector 34. After the eviction of village the Gurdwara was taken over by the residents of sector 34. Since it was very small Gurdwara and could not serve the needs of Sikh Sangat, therefore, 6 kanal land was got allotted from the Chandigarh Administration in 1980.
