|August 11, 2024
AROUND 1.92 lakh devotees from India visited Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan through the Kartarpur Sahib corridor in the past three years, the Rajya Sabha was informed recently.
Union Minister of State for external Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh gave the infor mation on Thursday in response to a question by AAP MP from Punjab Raghav Chadha.
Singh said that in 2021 a total of 10,025 devotees from India visited the gurdwara through the corridor which grew to 86,097 in 2022 and further to 96,555 in 2023. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Kartarpur Sahib corridor on November 9, 2019. After becoming functional, the corridor remained closed during Covid-19 pandemic and reopened after a gap of one-and-ahalf years in November 2021. Thus, the corridor, which had received widespread national and international acclaim when it was conceptualised and opened, failed the meet the expectation.
