SGPC Chief Appeals to PM Modi for Reopening of Kartarpur Corridor
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to immediately reopen the Kartarpur Corridor, which connects India to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan. The corridor, opened in 2019 during Guru Nanak Dev's 550th birth anniversary, holds deep religious significance for Sikhs worldwide. Its suspension due to India-Pakistan security concerns has disappointed devotees. The SGPC has repeatedly requested the government to restore the pilgrimage route, emphasizing its importance for religious sentiments and communal harmony.
