Kartarpur domes repaired; Pakistan orders inquiry

New Delhi, April 19

Pakistan today repaired all five domes of Kartarpur Sahib that had toppled following a storm on Saturday. The gurdwara was closed temporarily due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Pakistan will conduct a probe into allegations of poor workmanship and material.

The Pakistan Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (PGPC) condemned the negative propaganda on the issue. The PGPC and Pakistan Government emphasised that the repairs were carried out within hours.

The Pakistan High Commission here indicated that not much should be read into it. “The incident occurred due to bad weather but the structure was restored within hours,” it pointed out.

Pakistan, however, sidestepped the issue of quality of material used for the domes, saying an inquiry would be held. India had officially taken up the issue of collapse of domes. — TNS
