A Hindu temple in Pakistan’s Sialkot with its origin dating back 1,000 years in a time gone by, has been reopened for people after shutting for the last 72 years during partition.
The Hindu stopped visiting the Shawala Teja Singh Temple built by Sardar Teja Singh after a mob damaged it in 1992 while protesting against the demolition of Babri Mosque in India.
The Samaa news reported that the step was taken on the direction of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
“People are free to visit anytime,” said Deputy Commissioner Bilal Haider. The government also said that the work to preserve and restore the temple will start before long.
