Historic 200-Year-Old Gurdwara in Quetta Demolished for Commercial Development
The nearly 200-year-old historic Gurdwara Shri Guru Singh Sabha in Quetta, Pakistan, was demolished to make way for a planned shopping mall. The Sikh community and heritage advocates have expressed strong concerns about the loss of this religious site and the protection of minority heritage. Reports suggest the land was sold to a private developer, though official confirmation is pending. The Balochistan High Court declined to halt the construction despite community appeals.
