Kartarpur Corridor opening will meet decades-old demand of Indian devotees
In just over a fortnight from now, Kartarpur Sahib gurudwara in Pakistan’s Punjab province will be opened for Indian devotees, meeting a long-standing demand of the Sikh community.
The shrine, situated about 4.2 kms from the Indian border in Narowal district, will be accessible to Indian pilgrims throughout the year via a corridor. Every day, up to 5,000 pilgrims can visit the gurdwara and return home the same day.
The Indian devotees, especially the Sikhs, have been demanding a visa-free “khule darshan” (free obeisance facility) at the gurdwara for all faiths, from India and overseas, all seven days a week by crossing the international border from Dera Baba Nanak town in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district.
