Amritsar, Nov. 2 -- With the annual elections of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) set to take place on Monday, just days ahead of the bypoll to the Tarn Taran assembly, considered a Panthic seat, both factions of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) have scheduled meetings on Sunday.

The SGPC president, senior vice-president, junior vice-president, general secretary, and 11 executive committee members will be elected in the polls to be held at the gurdwara body's headquarters, Teja Singh Samundri Hall.

SAD spokesperson Daljit Singh Cheema said party president Sukhbir Singh Badal has already taken suggestions from the gurdwara body members and will meet all-party members at Teja Singh Samundri Hall on poll eve.
