CHANDIGARH: The Punjab Assembly in India has unanimously passed a resolution demanding the immediate reopening of the Kartarpur Corridor.

This decision was made on November 1, 2026, in response to ongoing calls for greater accessibility to the revered Sikh pilgrimage site.

The resolution was introduced by Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains, who emphasized the significance of the corridor for Sikh devotees.

He stated, “The reopening of the Kartarpur Corridor is essential for the spiritual and emotional well-being of millions of Sikhs around the world, and it is our duty to facilitate their pilgrimage.”

The corridor, which connects India and Pakistan, was closed due to security concerns and the ongoing geopolitical tensions.

This move by the Punjab Assembly reflects a growing sentiment among citizens and political leaders advocating for improved India-Pakistan relations.

The reopening of the corridor could enhance cultural exchanges and foster goodwill between the two nations, potentially impacting trade and tourism.

Looking ahead, the Punjab government plans to engage with central authorities to expedite discussions regarding the corridor’s reopening.

Stakeholders are hopeful that diplomatic efforts will lead to a resolution that benefits both nations and their citizens.
