Construction of langar khana, darshan khana, administration block and washrooms has been done by up 70-80 per cent
LAHORE:
Pakistan has completed more than 80 per cent work on Kartarpur Corridor including construction of main road, bridge and buildings from zero line to Gurdwara Sahib and it is hoped that the remaining work will be completed before the assigned time, a senior engineer working on the project said.
“We have to cement tiles and the order has already been placed. The work will start in 2-3 weeks,” engineer Kashif Ali said.
Ali said that the availability of a special kind of white marble was a big challenge, as white marble has been used on the project in a large quantity.

He also said that the construction of langar khana, darshan khana, administration block and washrooms has been completed by up 70-80 per cent and now work on electricity wiring, gas connection and water lines was being carried out. He maintained that the arch of building has been designed in a peculiar style.
Ali observed that the agriculture land was being prepared at Gurudwara Sahib where ‘Nishan Sahib’ will be hoisted higher than ‘Khanda Sahib’ at a height of 150 feet which will be clearly seen from India as well.
Besides, ‘Kunwan Sahib’ and ‘Aam ka Darakht’ (mango tree) already exist and engineers are working for their conservation.
Ali said that the erection of parking area at border terminal and Gurdwara Sahib has largely been completed and now plantation and landscaping continues.

The head of Gurdwara Sahib Kartarpur Sardar Goband Singh noted if the Sikh pilgrims are interested to visit Dera Baba Nanak today, they can arrive at ease as the construction of road, extension of Gurdwara Sahib, langar hall and two gates have been completed.
Singh said that some elements negatively propagate that Gurdwara Sahib Kartarpur has been damaged and changes have occurred in its structure.
“I want to make it clear to Sikhs around the world that not a single brick has been touched. This building stands like Taj Mahal,” he said.
