Shamshan Ghat for Hindu community in Lahore
LAHORE (January 06 2005): The Punjab government has approved a plan for setting up a 'Shamshan Ghat' near Saggian bridge for performance of the last rituals of bodies for the Hindu community in the city. The City District Government (CDG) will bear the cost of the project. Punjab Auqaf Minister Sahibzada Saeed ul Hassan Shah told this to a five-member delegation of local Hindu community, led by Pakistan Balmic Sabha General Secretary Dr Manawar Chand, who called on him here on Wednesday.
The minister said the allocation of land for the proposed Shamshan Ghat in Lahore was long standing demand of the Hindu community, which was being met by the government. He added the government had already selected a suitable piece of land to help out the local Hindu community.
Auqaf Minister further informed them that the funds had been allocated to renovate the Krishna Mandir at Ravi Road.
The minister also appealed to Hindu community to perform a proactive role in the national interest and support the government for the establishment of civil society, free of all prejudices and discriminations. He apprised the delegation of policies of the Government of Pakistan, which he said were aimed at bringing minorities at par with the majority population.
