Decision to ensure preservation of historic heritage
Consultant to be hired for restoration and repair of Samadhi
Due to recent heavy rains, a portion of Sardar Mahan Singh’s Samadhi located in Sheranwala Bagh, Gujranwala, has collapsed. Fortunately, no loss of life has been reported. Immediately after the incident, officials of the Evacuee Trust Property Board, accompanied by a technical team, visited the site and ensured safety measures around the building. A consultant will be hired for the restoration and repair of the Samadhi to preserve this historical heritage.
The Evacuee Trust Property Board has requested the district administration to temporarily relocate the classes of the school adjacent to the Samadhi to another building, in order to protect students and staff from any potential hazards. During this period, relevant authorities will continue monitoring the safety arrangements.
Sardar Mahan Singh, the father of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and a prominent leader of the Sikh community, is regarded as a significant figure in the history of the subcontinent and Sikh heritage. The restoration of his Samadhi holds exceptional importance at the international level.
