Reviving religious sites
Pakistan, home to numerous religious sites of Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs, has taken on the challenge of developing these assets. Such steps are expected to boost provincial economy and promote respect and tolerance in the country.
To start with, the Punjab government has directed relevant departments like the Punjab Planning and Development Board, and departments of Tourism, Archives, Archaeology, and Law and Justice to finalise reports related to Sikh gurdwaras in Punjab.
Sikhism’s holiest sites like Gurdwara Nankana Sahib, Gurdwara Darbar Sahib (Kartarpur) and Gurdwara Dera Sahib (Lahore) lie in Pakistan’s Punjab province.
