Footfall at Kartarpur Corridor Drops by 50%

The number of Indian pilgrims taking the Kartarpur corridor to Sri Darbar Sahib, the final resting place of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak, in Narowal district of Pakistan, has come down by nearly 50% in the wake of escalating tension between the two countries in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.

AMRITSAR:

Following the reports of cross-border links to the terror attack, the Union government decided to downgrade diplomatic ties with Pakistan and suspended trade through the Attari-Wagah border in Amritsar district. However, both countries have kept the Kartarpur Corridor open to allow Indian Sikh pilgrims to visit the gurdwara, 4.5km from the Dera Baba Nanak town in Gurdaspur.
