The historic Kapoor Haveli in Peshawar has suffered serious damage after recent heavy rains followed by a strong earthquake. A portion of the haveli collapsed overnight, raising concerns about the safety of the remaining structure.
The century-old Kapoor Haveli is a significant cultural site in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and was declared a national heritage site by the Pakistan government in 2016.
Shakeel Waheedullah, secretary of the Heritage Council in KPK province, urged the archaeology department and the provincial government to take immediate steps to restore and preserve the historic building.
The haveli, one of the finest architectures of its time, held immense historical significance, both for its architecture and its notable former residents, including the Kapoor family.
