Former CM Captain Amarinder Singh thanked PM Modi on “timely opening” of the corridor.
He said the reopening of the corridor was a long pending demand of the millions and millions of followers of Guru Nanak as it had been closed last year due to the outbreak of the pandemic. The corridor will reopen from tomorrow, Wednesday, two days before the Guruparab celebrations.“There could not have been a better occasion than now for opening of the corridor as thousands of devotees will get the chance to pay their obeisance at the holy shrine on the Guruparab day itself”, Capt Amarinder said in a statement here today.
“I warmly welcome the decision to reopen the Sri Kartapur Sahib Corridor on the auspicious occasion of 552nd Parkash Purb of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
