Two major Hindu temples in Canada are in discussions with authorities over security arrangements after pro-Khalistan groups called for rallies outside their premises.
The locations identified include Triveni Mandir in Brampton and Lakshmi Narayan Mandir in Surrey, British Columbia.
Temple management has been assured of a continuous police presence on the day, with enforcement of Brampton's 100-metre bylaw, which prohibits demonstrations within 100 metres of a place of worship.
The Hindu Canadian Foundation has urged the federal government to designate Canada-based Khalistan extremists as terrorist entities.
