On the occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti, the government had reopened the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor on November 17. Earlier this week, a delegation of the BJP leaders of Punjab had met the Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting him to open the holy corridor. 

The Kartarpur Corridor was closed last year on March 16, 2020 in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. All the covid-19 protocols and norms will be adhered to, an official press release of the Home Ministry said while reopening the corridor. 

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also upheld the values propagated by Shri Guru Nanak Dev ji. Through a tweet, the Defence Minister wrote, “Shri Guru Nanak Dev ji taught us to serve the poor and needy, fight against inequality and discrimination in our society. His thoughts continue to inspire millions across the world. I bow to him on his jayanti.”
