Technical meeting on opening of Kartarpur Corridor to be held on Friday: Pakistan

Islamabad: Pakistan on Thursday said that a technical meeting on the opening of the Kartarpur Corridor will be held on August 30 at the Zero Point.

The corridor will connect Darbar Sahib in Pakistan’s Kartarpur with Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Gurdaspur district and facilitate visa-free movement of Indian Sikh pilgrims, who will have to just obtain a permit to visit Kartarpur Sahib, which was established in 1522 by Sikh faith founder Guru Nanak Dev.

“A technical meeting on the Kartarpur corridor is set to take place at Zero Point tomorrow (Friday),” Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal said while addressing the weekly briefing.

“India concurred to Pakistan’s proposal and the technical meeting on Kartarpur Sahib corridor is being held on August 30 at Zero Point,” he said.
