PESHAWAR: Over 150-year old historical temple of Baba Karam Singh was demolished overnight by the land mafia in Mardan, Dawn News reported on Thursday

The 35 feet tall national heritage was turned into debris in the native town of Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ameer Haider Hoti. A well and some old constructions around the temple were also demolished by the land grabbers, said the report.

The temple of Baba Karam Singh, built in 1846, is considered one of the holy places for the people belonging to Sikh religion.

The Sikh community of the province has demanded reconstruction of the temple and also protection to the other sacred places for them.

Why you guys don't pay attentions to these issues rather than thinking about Wahga Border Flag downing ceremony :angry:
 
it is matter of concern, earlier i've also heard abt such stuff when land mafia tried to annex land belonging to gurudwara in lahore & in one case they wanted to demolish a gurudwara. govt should mark historical sites as protected sites.
 
Irony is that these land mafias are backed by f***g political parties and politicians
