The historic town of Nanded, in Maharashtra is an important place of pilgrimage for the Sikh community due to its association with Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji, who is known to have meditated on the banks of river Godavari and spent the last few days of his life in the region.
Just yards from these sacred spaces plans are in place to bulldoze a corridor that will destroy the last few historical reminders of the Guru's association with the region. Unique Sikh architecture that was built with devotion and served generations are slated for destruction rather than the sensitive conservation that they deserve.
