Project: Landport Terminal Building at Dera Baba Nanak, Kartarpur Corridor, Punjab
-
On the eve of the 550th Anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, a messenger of God, missionary and reformist who preached oneness, harmony and unity, the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan unanimously took an initiative to open up a corridor between the two countries, so that pilgrims from both nations could visit various shrines of Guru Nanak at Kartarpur in Punjab, Pakistan.
The work on this corridor is a landmark in the history of these two countries. It shall be a helpful resource in creating unity, where both the nations can look beyond physical boundaries and collectively work towards the economic growth for this part of the subcontinent. The vision of the state-of-the-art Landport, a terminal building at Dera Baba Nanak, was carried out by the Landport Authority of India. Our objective was to construct a world-class infrastructure for ICP Passenger Terminal Building at Dera Baba Nanak, to help the Sikh pilgrims from India to visit Katarpur, located about 7 km from the international border with Pakistan.
