Sikh temple closed in Belgium for security reasons

Several groups at the gurudwara were at loggerheads on Sunday that prompted authorities to send police to the area.

London: Belgian authorities have ordered the closure of a gurudwara for an indefinite period, saying it poses a security threat after a dispute between Sikh groups, media reports said on Saturday.

Hans Bonte, Mayor of Vilvoorde town, has ordered the closure.

The town outside Brussels has only a dozen Sikh residents but because of the town's central location the Vilvoorde gurudwara is well frequented, said the VRT news outlet.
