Racing against time, workers are doing three shifts a day to complete the Indian part of the Kartarpur Sahib corridor that will enable pilgrims from here to visit the revered Sikh shrine in Pakistan.
Construction of around 4.2 km-long corridor is targeted to be completed by October 31, a week before the celebrations to mark the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.
The gurdwara is located in Narowal district of Pakistan’s Punjab province, near Dera Baba Nanak town in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district. It is a highly revered Sikh shrine where Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev spent 18 years of his life and is his final resting place.
About 60 per cent work of the four-lane highway with service lanes on both sides has been completed, an official said.
