BRUSSELS, Sept 10, 2016: Belgian authorities have ordered the closure of a Sikh gurudwara (temple) for an indefinite period citing a security threat, local media reported 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 was well frequented, said the VRT news outlet. (IANS)
