New Delhi: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, on Friday, said that he has waived off the entry fee for two days, for Indian pilgrims travelling to Kartarpur Gurudwara to commemorate 550 birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.

He also announced that pilgrims would not need a passport to travel to Kartarpur. They would just need a valid ID.

He said no fee would be charged from them on the opening day of the corridor on November 9.

"For Sikhs coming for pilgrimage to Kartarpur from India, I have waived off two requirements: i) they won't need a passport-just a valid ID; ii)they no longer have to register 10 days in advance. Also, no fee to be charged on day of inauguration and on Guruji's 550th birthday," Khan tweeted.

The announcement comes amid India’s repeated condemnation of the USD 20 service charge proposed by Pakistan on Indian pilgrims.

Last week, India and Pakistan signed the much-awaited agreement for operationalizing Kartarpur Corridor on "zero lines" on the border, just weeks ahead of the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.

The Kartarpur Corridor will connect the Dera Baba Nanak shrine in India's Punjab with Darbar Sahib at Kartarpur, just 4 kilometres from the International Border, located at Narowal district of Pakistan's Punjab province.

The agreement will allow 5,000 Indian pilgrims daily to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib where Guru Nanak spent last 18 years of his life.
