Vancouver, Canada: A Sikh school was set on fire on Thursday but shockingly the Canadian police has confirmed that the fire was deliberately set, and are appealing to the public for assistance in locating a possible witness. The fire spread quickly and destroyed the Khalsa School near the intersection of Fraser Street and 45th Avenue in East Vancouver. There were no injuries.

Holy scripture recovered The school’s little gurdwara was also destroyed, and many feared the Sikh holy book, the Guru Granth Sahib, had been destroyed, but after the flames were extinguished, firefighters entered the charred buildings, recovered the scriptures, brought it out covered in a white cloth and turned it over to a school official. The Granth Sahib was undamaged, and members of the gurdwara attributed it to the will of the Akal Purakh.

A Sikh granthi dressed in white robes and a white turban spread a large white sheet on which which the scripture was placed, and then wrapped in the sheet and carried by the priest on his head while the sangat followed behind.
