SRINAGAR: In an exemplary act, the Sikh community in Kashmir on Thursday agreed to the demolition of a 72-year-old gurudwara to make way for a national highway connecting Srinagar with Baramulla which had been stuck for over a decade, an official said.
According to a settlement reached between the Sikh community and the Srinagar district administration, a new gurudwara will be built at an alternative site nearby.
Established in 1947, Gurudwara Damdama Sahib mainly served migrant families from Pakistan.
It organised langars and undertook many social service initiatives such as flood rescue.
