Tragedy struck with a terror attack last night in Las Ramblas district of Barcelona, Spain. Reports say 13 people have been killed and 100 others have been injured in the attack. It’s a critical moment for all of Spain and the Sikh community in Spain has decided to help out in any manner they can. They are opening the doors of their Gurudwaras to people to seek refuge in.
Harjinder S Kukreja from Punjab took to Twitter to inform people that Gurudwaras in Barcelona are offering help to those who are in need.
