Sacred Book Burnt In Fire

As per reports, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji got burnt at Sikh priest Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwala’s gurdwara at his native village Dhadrian, after a fire erupted on Wednesday. The sacred book got burnt after the fire engulfed the holy place because of short circuit.

As the Gurdwara has a lot of wood work, the fire spread speedily and resulted into a hefty loss to the interiors of the edifice.

The villagers, after getting to know regarding the blaze at the Gurdwara, gathered up in large numbers and controlled the fire.

The Gurdwara is located in the property that belongs to Ranjit Singh’s family. Administrative and police functionaries also reached the spot and supervised the rescue processes.

Sangrur SP Sharanjit Singh refusing any foul play behind the blaze and stated “the fire broke out because of short circuit and two sacred books got burnt in the fire aside from damage to other possessions of the religious place”.

Ranjit Singh has constructed another Gurdwara called ‘parmeshar dwar’ next to Patiala on Sangrur-Patiala highway and a large number of followers throng the Gurudwara.
