India is likely to soon send a formal invitation to Pakistan for a coordination meeting to establish the cross-border ‘visa-free’ Kartarpur corridor. The corridor will connect two Sikh shrines on both sides of the Indo-Pak border and allow pilgrims to travel between them.
This was one of the key outcomes of the inter-ministerial meeting chaired by the home secretary, Rajiv Gauba, on Tuesday. The meeting, held at North Block, was attended by officials from the home ministry, Punjab government, state and central security agencies, the ministry of external affairs and highway authorities.
As per sources, the meeting will be held to discuss the modalities of the road alignment and the logistics of moving large numbers of pilgrims between Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur (India) and Gurudwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur (Pakistan).
