The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has put up notices in Golden Temple stating 'TikTok is prohibited here', news agency ANI reported on Saturday, 8 February.
Earlier, on Thursday, Jathedar of the Akal Takht, the top temporal body of Sikhs, Giani Harpreet Singh told news agency PTI that they were thinking of banning mobile phones inside the shrine.
The Jathedar (head priest) also pointed out that some of the devotees even argue with 'sewadars' (workers) upon being stopped from clicking photos inside the premises, reported PTI.
"It is a very serious problem," said the Jathedar advising devotees to refrain from doing such acts.
Photography and videography in the precincts of the Golden Temple have already been banned by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) to avoid any "disturbance" to the spiritual atmosphere.
According to PTI, the Jathedar's statement comes two days after a TikTok video shot inside the Golden Temple by three girls with a Punjabi song playing in the background went viral on social media.
A police complaint was lodged to identify the girls.
Later, the girl had to apologise.
