Union
Cabinet approved the building and development of the Kartarpur corridor from
Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur district to the international border, in order to
facilitate pilgrims from India to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur on the
banks of the Ravi river, in Pakistan, where Shri Guru Nanak Devji spent
eighteen years. Pilgrims would then be able to visit the holy shrine throughout
the year.
The
Kartarpur corridor will be implemented as an integrated development project
with Government of India funding, to provide smooth and easy passage, with all
the modern amenities. Government of India will put in place suitable facilities
for smooth passage of pilgrims. Government of Pakistan will be urged to
recognize the sentiments of the Sikh community and to develop a corridor with
suitable facilities in their territory as well.
