Punjab assembly urges Centre to reopen Kartarpur Sahib Corridor for hassle-free access to Gurdwara Sri Darbar Sahib.

Punjab Vidhan Sabha has urged the Centre to facilitate the reopening of the Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor and ensure regular, hassle-free access for the Sikh Sangat to pay obeisance at Gurdwara Sri Darbar Sahib.

Passing a resolution on the last day of the session yesterday, it demanded that the Union government take immediate steps to reopen the corridor and keep it operational, simplify visit procedures and ensure safe and uninterrupted movement of Sangat to the Gurdwara in Kartarpur, Pakistan.

Emphasising that matters of faith must remain above political considerations, he said the spiritual aspirations of devotees must be respected and religious devotion should never become a casualty of petty politics.

The Punjab Vidhan Sabha also urged the Centre to facilitate the reopening of the corridor, enabling devotees to fulfil their spiritual aspirations and undertake darshan without hindrance.
