Kartarpur Corridor To Reopen Today As Flood-Situation Eases On Border

The yatra was postponed after a flood-like situation had arisen near the Indo-Pak border due to the rise in water-level of the Ravi river.

The Kartarpur Corridor, connecting the historic Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan to Gurudwara Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur district, is set to reopen for pilgrims on Tuesday as the flood-situation eased near the India-Pakistan border.  

On Monday evening, Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Border Range Amritsar, Narinder Bhargav visited the corridor to take stock of the situation.

"A flood-like situation had arisen near the Indo-Pak border due to the rise in water-level of the Ravi river. Due to this, the yatra was postponed temporarily," he said.
