ISLAMABAD:
Prime Minister Imran Khan will inaugurate the Kartarpur Corridor project on the 550th birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak in the last week of November, at a ceremony which could be attended by his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.

Sources told The Express Tribune that both the countries have had a high-level communication in this regard. According to the Prime Minister House sources, Prime Minister Modi is also expected to show up at the inauguration ceremony.


In a letter written to Khan recently, Modi had assured Pakistan of timely completion of the corridor’s work on the Indian side. The Pakistan government has also started preparations for Baba Guru Nanak’s birth anniversary celebrations.

The government has formed a high-level committee, comprising Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar, Shaikh Rashid and Noorul Haq Qadri to monitor the arrangements for opening of the Kartarpur Corridor and the birth anniversary celebrations.
