As economic woes deepen and people continue to struggle with soaring inflation and unemployment, the Pakistani government has prepared a ‘master plan’ for the renovation and beautification of temples and gurdwaras in the country at a cost of PKR 1 billion.
Yes, you read it right!
This decision was taken on Saturday in a meeting of the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) here under its chief, Syed Attaur Rehman.
“Under a master plan, temples and gurudwaras will be decorated, and development works will be done with a budget of PKR 1bn,” said Rehman.
“A huge amount of money is being spent on minority places of worship,” he added.
Members of the Hindu and Sikh communities and government and non-government members from all over the country attended the meeting.
