Hundreds dead in Indian battle
United Press International
NEW DELHI, India — Indian
troops seized the Golden Temple of
Amritsar Wednesday in a fierce bat
tle with Sikh extremists that left
more than 300 dead and 240
wounded in the 15-acre sanctuary,
government spokesmen said.
They said 450 suspected Sikh ter
rorists were taken prisoner in the
Fighting that began late Tuesday
when troops launched an assault on
the temple complex in Amritsar, 250
miles north of New Delhi.
The bloodbath at the site of the
holiest shrine in the Sikh religion
marked the worst explosion of vio
lence since the Sikhs began a cam
paign for autonomy in India’s north
eastern Punjab state in 1982. The
Sikhs are a majority in Punjab but
constitute only 1 percent of all Indi
ans.
A military source said a batallion
sized unit was used in the assault. He
said resistance was fierce because
many of the extremists holed up in
the temple were former soldiers who
knew how to handle weapons and
who had constructed elaborate forti
fications in the complex.
The complex, including a main
gold-leafed temple on an island in
the middle of a lake, had been
treated as off-limits to security forces
even though authorities said it pro
vided sanctuary to hundreds of ter
rorists.
The decision to storm the temple
grounds signaled a decision by
Prime Minister Indira Ghandi to
break the back of a wave of unrest
that claimed 328 lives in the past
three months.
The unrest — including fighting
between Sikhs and Hindus and be
tween Sikh moderates and militants
— was blamed on extremists who the
government said had taken over the
sect’s autonomy movement.
Lt. Gen Ranjit Singh Dayal, the
commander of army troops in Pun
jab, said the fighting began when his
troops stormed the temple grounds
late Tuesday.
Dayal and other government offi
cials said fighting continued through
Wednedsday, with extremists firing
machine guns, rockets and mortars
in all directions from the main
temple and from the basement of a
building called the Akali Tahkt.
Finally, they said, extremists in
the main temple straggled out wav
ing white flags. Then, the 20-odd
militants who had been in the base
ment of the Akali Tahkt building
while soldiers held the upper levels
also gave themselves up.
One official said there was no
damage to the main temple, where
the original copy of the Sikh holy
book — the Granth Sahib — is
stored. The Akal Takht, the seat of
the Sikhs Supreme Religion Council,
was slightly damaged, he said.
Dayal, himself a Sikh, told report
ers in the Punjabi capita] of Chandi
garh that the dead included 250
Sikh extremists and 48 security
forces members, with another](),
diers missing and presumed dead
He said 240 men were injured
the fighting, including 190soldie (
Dayal said he did not kno#
whereabouts of Sikh leader Jai
Singh Bhindranwale, who auibi
lies say has masterminded acts
terrorism from the sanctuaryof
temple complex.
In New Delhi, a Home Aft
Ministry spokesman said
who had surrounded the ten
grounds Monday, were ordered

pealed ef forts to persuade the
rorists to come out failed.” ,
“Instead of responding to thepi
sistent appeals by security force

had to take massive action," said
official.
Dayal said raids also
