In Pakistan, domes of Kartarpur Sahib collapse in Thunderstorm
New Delhi : At least two domes of Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib collapsed due to thunderstorm and high-speed wind in the area on Saturday evening. The domes were recently constructed outside the perimeter of the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara.
Due to the strong wind coupled with heavy rain showers in the Punjab province, at least two domes at Darbar Sahib Kartarpur fell off.
This is how #KartarpurSahib looks like months after its inauguration...

With the latest development, a serious concern has been raised over the material used in the construction of Kartarpur Sahib. There are allegations that the domes which appear to be hollow from the inside were made from fibre and not the actual cement and iron.
Minister of Science & Technology Fawad Chaudhry said the matter has been addressed before the Religious Affairs Minister Noor Ul Haq Qadri with a request for an immediate inquiry.
Frontier Works Organization (FWO) has been assigned to ensure the immediate renovation of the damaged domes. Official sources say the work will be completed within 48 hours.
