PM Modi to flag-off 1st batch of 500 pilgrims through Kartarpur Corridor

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Saturday flag off the first batch of over 500 Indian pilgrims that will travel to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib of Pakistan’s Punjab province through the Kartarpur Corridor which is being thrown open on the occasion of 550th birth anniversary of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev.

Modi will inaugurate passenger terminal building, also known as Integrated Check Post, where pilgrims will get clearance to travel through the newly built 4.5 km long Corridor.

The Corridor connects Dera Baba Nanak shrine in India’s Punjab with Darbar Sahib which is also called Kartarpur Sahib, the last resting place of Guru Nanak Dev, in Narowal district in Pakistan.
