Pakistan has decided to charge a tax of $20 from Sikh devotees visiting kartarpur corridor.
India on Thursday said it has urged Pakistan not to levy $20 on pilgrims using the Kartarpur corridor and hoped the agreement on the cross-border corridor could be inked in time for the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism.
The development comes as India is pushing ahead with construction of the 4.2 km-long corridor which will be completed by October 31, a week before the celebrations to mark the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.
