Meanwhile, Pakistan is building the corridor from the Indian border to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartapur, while the other part from Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur up to the border is being built by India.
The Kartarpur corridor will connect Darbar Sahib -- the final resting place of Guru Nanak Dev in Pakistan's Kartarpur -- with the Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Punjab's Gurdaspur district and facilitate visa-free movement of Indian pilgrims, who will have to just obtain a permit to visit Kartarpur Sahib.
