B.C. Court Enforces Buffer Zone at Sikh Temple Amid Protests

A court order aims to prevent disruptions as tensions rise over Indian consular camps in Vancouver.

The B.C. Supreme Court has established a buffer zone around the Ross Street Gurdwara in Vancouver to prevent confrontations during Indian consular events.
The court order comes in response to expected protests against Indian consular officials, linked to allegations of their involvement in criminal activities in Canada.
Pro-Khalistan groups have expressed intentions to protest, demanding the shutdown of Indian consulates in Canada due to these allegations.
The consular camps provide administrative services to seniors of Indian descent, primarily for pension-related tasks, without visiting the consulate.
The buffer zone prohibits protests, sidewalk blockages, and intimidation near the temple, with police prepared to enforce the order.
