In a rare and landmark initiative, the Kartarpur corridor facilitating Sikh pilgrims to visit one of the holiest shrines in the Pakistani town of Narowal was thrown open by Prime Minister Narendra Modi amid fanfare and presence of several thousands Sikhs.

It was inaugurated as part of the celebration to commemorate the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.
