“Pilgrims wishing to travel through the corridor to visit the gurdwara can do so. As of now, the corridor is open,” Sohail Qasim Mir, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Batala, told The Indian Express, confirming that the Kartarpur Corridor was functional as before.
On Wednesday evening, the Ministry of External Affairs had announced various measures, imposing several restrictions on Indo-Pak diplomatic relations post the Pahalgam terror attack. The restrictions included the closure of the Attari check post and the return of Pakistan nationals visiting India on the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme.
