LAHORE:
The historic Gurdwara Chhevin Patshahi in Mozang has reopened following extensive renovation and restoration work.
The Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) completed the restoration and reopened the building for worship, bringing an end to its closure since the Partition.
The gurdwara is associated with the sixth Sikh Guru. According to accounts, Guru Hargobind visited the place during his visit to Lahore in 1619. The shrine had remained closed since 1947 and gradually fallen into disrepair.
The U.S. climber and his partners won a Piolet d'Or in 2024 for their ascent of Yashkuk Sar. But Sosbum Brakk, also in the Karakoram, was much, much harder.

Dane Steadman and Cody Winckler of the U.S., together with Grant Stewart of Canada, completed the first ascent of the north face of Sosbun Brakk (6,414m) in Pakistan’s Karakoram last month. The peak had been climbed only once before, by a Japanese team in 1981, from a different, milder side. The new 1,800m route includes difficulties of M7, WI5.
