Punjab Assembly Urges Centre to Reopen Kartarpur Sahib Corridor for Sikh Pilgrims
The Punjab Assembly unanimously passed a resolution urging the Indian government to reopen the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor, emphasizing its significance as a symbol of Sikh faith and kinship.

The corridor has been closed since May 2025 due to security concerns following cross-border tensions. The Assembly stressed that religious devotion should transcend political issues and urged simplification of pilgrimage procedures.
