Despite India-Pakistan’s continued diplomatic see-saw relation, as a goodwill gesture, Kartarpur Corridor in Pakistan has been opened by the Imran Khan government.
Kartarpur Corridor facility is a visa-free journey from India to Pakistan usually opened for Sikh Pilgrims to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib. It is about five kilometers from the international border and became operational in November 2019.
