The North American Punjabi Association (NAPA) strongly urges the Punjab government not to sell or lease any government land or heritage buildings. These structures are not just buildings; they are a part of Punjab’s history, culture, and identity, and hold immense emotional and historical value for the people of our state.
We remind the Punjab government that such heritage buildings are treasures of our past, and selling them for short-term gains will cause irreversible loss to future generations. The people of Punjab consider these properties as their own, and their preservation should be a top priority.
NAPA stands firmly against any move that compromises Punjab’s heritage. We call upon the government to protect, maintain, and restore these sites, rather than selling or privatizing them. The citizens of Punjab expect their government to act as a custodian of their cultural legacy, not treat it as a commodity. We urge all concerned authorities to reconsider such decisions and ensure that the legacy of Punjab remains intact for generations to come.
