As Pakistan celebrated the first anniversary of the inauguration of Kartarpur Corridor on Monday, it regretted the Indian government’s unwillingness to reopen it after a temporary closure because of Covid-19 pandemic was preventing Indian Sikhs from visiting their holy site.

“As religious places started gradually opening up around the world, Pakistan also reopened the Corridor on June 29, 2020, with Covid-related necessary health safety protocols. India has yet to reopen the Corridor from its side to allow Sikh pilgrims to visit Kartarpur Saheb,” the Foreign Office said.

The Corridor was inaugurated on Nov 9 last year by Prime Minister Imran Khan on the eve of the 550th birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak.
