On Thursday (yesterday), Indian Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, along with his cabinet members, visited the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur through Kartarpur Corridor.
The high-level delegation comprising 37 members arrived at gurdwara via Kartarpur Corridor.
On the other hand, Indian authorities earlier this week announced to reopen the Kartarpur Corridor on the eve of the 552nd birth anniversary of Guru Nanak.
Pakistan in a goodwill gesture already opened the Kartarpur Corridor and taken special measures to facilitate the pilgrims arriving in the country.
