In an appalling turn of events, a group of locals partially demolished the Guru Nanak Palace in Pakistan and sold off its precious windows, doors and ventilators.
What Is It?
The four-storey “Palace of Baba Guru Nanak” is believed to have been constructed with bricks, sand, clay and limestone over four centuries ago at Bathanwala village, about 100 km from Lahore. Every year a number of Sikhs from across the world frequented the palace.

The walls surrounding the building showcased pictures of Sikh founder Guru Nanak as well as of various Hindu rulers and princes. There were 16 large rooms in the building, all of which had at least three beautiful doors and as many as four ventilators.
The rooms had large broad walls with cupboards in them with wooden doors and flowers carved on the walls.

The people in the area have requested Prime Minister Imran Khan to take action against those responsible.
