New Delhi, Aug 11 (PTI) DSGMC chief Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Wednesday alleged that a former president of the committee was creating hurdles in the opening of the Guru Harkrishan Sahib Hospital.

“Though 125-bed Sri Guru Harkrishan Sahib Hospital was ready to serve people but an ex-president of the DSGMC has become a hindrance to its opening,” Sirsa, the current Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management (DSGMC) president said.
