Waheguru Ji
Gurdwara Sri Guru HarKrishan Sahib Ji, Manchester which is well known for its International Akhand Kirtani Smaagams and for the support of education for poor children in India, was destroyed in a fire that took place late Thursday 07/05/09 Evening.
Daas has been attending this Gurdwara since childhood and it is so sad to see it in its current state.
All Guru Saroops were untouched as the blaze destroyed the langar hall and Guru Nanak Hall.
Here is a news article taken from the BBC:
More than 70 firefighters tackled a blaze that destroyed a Sikh temple in Greater Manchester.
The blaze ripped through a multi-use building in the Strangeways area of Cheetham Hill at 2330 BST on Wednesday.
The ground floor offices and the first floor, which was home to the temple, were gutted in the fire.
Firefighters tackled the blaze throughout the night. An investigation is under way but the fire is not thought to be suspicious.
A fire service spokeswoman said: “There was a partial collapse in the first floor ceiling and firefighters had to enter the building wearing breathing apparatus to tackle the blaze.”
Bury Road is closed while crews dampen the blaze down.
