JALANDHAR: A gurdwara in Seechewal village has decided to use the gold meant for the pinnacle of the dome of the building to buy an ambulance and other equipment required to save lives of Covid patients.
Environmentalist Baba Balbir Singh Seechewal said people had donated gold, including ornaments in the last few years for the project. Though the gurdwara was built some years ago, and a dome was also built, the pinnacle is yet to be made. Devotees wanted to gold plate the pinnacle.
“Now, we have decided to purchase an ambulance and if we still have money left we will buy other equipment required,” added Baba Seechewal. According to him, the village panchayat has already established a Covid care facility in the village where people without access to space to isolate themselves can stay.
