Pakistan will start a month-long visa process starting September 1 for the Sikh pilgrims from India and other countries who plans to attend the 550 birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak in November.
The decision was taken on Wednesday by the Religious Tourism and Heritage Committee (RTHC) during a meeting chaired by Governor Chaudhry Sarwar at the Governor House.
"Visa process for the Sikh pilgrims from India and other countries will start from September 1 and complete by September 30 in connection with 550 birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak on November 12," Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar said.
Talking to reporters at the Governors' House, Sarwar said: "Pakistan will complete the Kartarpur Corridor Project by November regardless of India's willingness to work on it or not. The Sikh pilgrims visiting Pakistan will be facilitated in every way."
