Mr Shatrujit Singh, scion of the royal family of Kapurthala, has offered to bear all expenditure on the repair and maintenance of the samadhi of Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia, a Sikh warrior.

The samadhi situated on the premises of Baba Atal Sahib in the Golden Temple is in a dilapidated state. The dilapidated condition of the samadhi was first highlighted by The Tribune on September 4.

'The Ahluwalias' formidable forefathers from Kapurthala Raj Gharana need a befitting tribute to their memory' replied Mr Shatrujit on his endeavour to undertake maintenance of this heritage building at a considerable cost.

Earlier, Brig Sukhjit Singh, also scion of the Kapurthala royal family, has given Rs 50,000 to the SGPC for repairing the samadhi.
