According to the high commission, Pakistan is looking forward to welcome devotees from India for Baba Guru Nanak’s birthday festivities.
Earlier today, a jatha of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) left for Pakistan via the Kartarpur corridor to pay obeisance at the Gurudwara Darbar Sahib and other Gurudwaras.
“We’ll be gone for nine days. We’ll go to Kartarpur Sahib, Nankana Sahib, Dera Sacha Sauda, Dera sahib, and Dera sahib “Gruvinder Singh, a pilgrim, expressed his thoughts.
“We are overjoyed. We appreciate the government’s decision to unblock the passage “another pilgrim remarked.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the passageway was closed.
The 4.7-kilometer long visa-free corridor connects the Indian border with Pakistan’s Gurdwara Darbar Sahib. It started operation in 2019.
