India express ‘disappointment’ over Pak’s USD 20 fee for Kartarpur Sahib but ready to ink pact on 23
India on Monday said it is ready to sign an agreement with Pakistan on October 23 for the operationalisation of the Kartarpur Corridor, even as it expressed “disappointment” over Islamabad’s insistence on levying USD 20 service fee per pilgrim and asked it to reconsider its decision.
The government has taken the initiative to put in place state of art infrastructure and open the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor on the auspicious occasion of the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev so that pilgrims from India and those holding Overseas Citizen of India Card can undertake visit to the holy Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.
