Elections took place under the supervision of government authority and the new body called Delhi Sikh Gurdwaras Management Committee (DSGMC) came into existence in 1974. Under the provisions of the Act, the elections must take place every four years. | '''Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee''' or '''DSGMC''' is an autonomous organisation which manages [[Gurdwara]]s in [[Delhi]] state.
