Covid cases down, reopen Kartarpur corridor, CM Amarinder Singh writes to PM Narendra Modi

Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reopen the Kartarpur Corridor in view of the improvement in the Covid situation and to facilitate people to visit the historic Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan.

In a letter to the Prime Minister, Amarinder said his government would be happy to work in conjunction with the Government of India to ensure adherence to proper Covid-19 protocols, including testing and vaccination of pilgrims, using the corridor. He hoped for a positive consideration by the Prime Minister in this regard, a government statement said.

The Chief Minister pointed out that the movement of devotees to Kartarpur through the corridor was suspended in March last year due to the Covid outbreak.
