Islamabad, October 23
Pakistan said on Wednesday that a historic agreement with India to operationalise the Kartarpur corridor was likely to be signed on Thursday.
The corridor will connect the Dera Baba Nanak shrine in India’s Punjab with the gurdwara at Kartarpur, just about four kilometre from the International Border, located at Narowal district of Pakistan’s Punjab province.
Initially, the two sides had agreed that the pact would be signed on Wednesday. “It is our effort to get the agreement signed tomorrow (on Thursday),” Foreign Office spokesman Mohammad Faisal told reporters here.
He said a mechanism had been agreed under which the pilgrims would come in the morning and return in the evening after visiting Gurdwara Darbar Sahib. At least 5,000 pilgrims will be allowed to visit the holy site every day. — PTI
