A section of the Central Gurdwara Glasgow, a Sikh temple, and the Glasgow Gaelic School has been cordoned off, as reported by the Daily Record. The Central Gurdwara Glasgow stated earlier that it had to close as the cordoned area on Berkeley Street restricted access to the temple’s main entrances and parking lot. The street remained sealed off during the early afternoon.
