Pakistan, India reopen Kartarpur corridor for Sikh pilgrims

Sikh pilgrims have begun to arrive in Pakistan to visit one of their holiest shrines before the birth anniversary of the religion's founder after India gave them the green light to cross the border. The Kartarpur corridor is a visa-free crossing allowing Indian Sikhs to visit the temple just 4km inside Pakistan where Guru Nanak died in 1539. The corridor first opened in 2019 for Nanak's 550th birth anniversary but was closed last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
