Sirsa (Haryana): The three-day long mammoth exercise to carry out "sanitisation" of the sprawling Dera Sacha Sauda sect headquarters premises here ended this evening, officials said.
Security forces and various government departments had launched a coordinated effort to carry out a sanitisation exercise on September 8, amid a thick security blanket.
"The search operation process in the Dera was launched from September 8 and was overseen by Court Commissioner AKS Pawar. The search operation continued till today and the process is complete now," Haryana government's Public Relations Department Deputy Director, Satish Mehra told reporters here this evening.
The operation remained smooth and peaceful, he said.
"Various teams engaged in this operation have submitted their report to the court commissioner, who will now submit his report to the Punjab and Haryana High Court," Mehra said.
The sanitisation process led to unearthing of two secret tunnels, including one that connected the Dera Sacha Sauda chief's residence with the hostel for female disciples, and an illegal firecracker factory, officials said.
