Punjab Assembly Calls for Reopening of Kartarpur Sahib Corridor Amid Suspension
The Punjab Assembly, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains, passed a resolution urging the central government to reopen the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor for Sikh pilgrims. The resolution calls for regular, safe, and simplified access to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan, emphasizing respect for religious freedom. However, the corridor remains suspended pending official government approval, and pilgrims cannot currently travel visa-free despite the 2019 agreement facilitating such visits when operational.
