Demands grow for Kartarpur corridor reopening

NEW DELHI: In light of the ceasefire reached between Pakistan and India last week after days of hostilities, demands are growing in India to reopen the Kartarpur corridor to allow devotees to visit the shrine of Guru Nanak in Pakistan, reports said on Sunday.

The demands gain heft from the permission granted to truckers, carrying perishables from Afghanistan, to cross into India from Pakistan via Wagah. After the Pahalgam attack, India shut down the Wagah-Attari border crossing, a move reciprocated by Pakistan.
