Historic Restoration: Reviving Narowal's Baoli Sahib Temple

Pakistan allocates Rs 10 million to restore the Baoli Sahib temple in Narowal. After years of disrepair, the project caters to the Hindu community's religious needs, addressing their long-standing demand for local worship places. Shoaib Siddal and Manzoor Masih play critical roles in this restoration effort.

The Pakistani government has earmarked a hefty Rs 10 million budget for restoring the Baoli Sahib temple in Narowal. This move comes after decades of disuse, as the Hindu community had been left without a local place of worship, compelling them to travel to nearby cities for religious rituals.

Overseen by the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB), this project marks the beginning of what many hope will be a new era of cultural preservation and religious freedom for Pakistan's minority communities. The temple's restoration is significant, considering that Narowal once hosted 45 Hindu temples, all of which have since fallen into disrepair.

Key figures such as Shoaib Siddal and Manzoor Masih were instrumental in advancing this initiative. Their efforts have been widely recognized in addressing the demands of the Hindu community. The temple's restoration is expected to rejuvenate the local cultural landscape, promoting harmony and mutual respect among diverse groups in the region.
