India to build Kartarpur corridor up to border to help Sikh pilgrims

Kartarpur Sahib, located just across the International Border, is the final resting place of Guru Nanak Dev and one of the holiest shrines of Sikhs. The decision was taken at a cabinet meeting chaired by PM Modi to commemorate the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev. New Delhi will also also request Islamabad to recognise the sentiments of the Sikh community and cooperate.
