"Around 15 gunmen entered the centre at Bani Gala on the outskirts of Islamabad late on Saturday and vandalised it after tying up the security guards to trees in the complex," the NGO said in a statement here.

People present at the centre were safe and no one was injured in the attack.

Though the centre has a capacity to house about 60 people at a time, the stress-elimination programme was shifted to Nankana Sahib, about 350 km from Islamabad, the statement quoted AoL Pakistan faculty member Shahnaz Minallah as saying.

The centre was unveiled by AoL founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in 2012.
