5000 per day ??Pakistan has decided to allow 5000 pilgrims per day.
The Spokesperson said in line with Prime Minister Khan's commitment to operationalize the corridor for the 550th anniversary and spirit of constructive engagement, taking into account the sentiments of the sikh community, Pakistan has decided to allow 5000 pilgrims per day (to be increased as capacity allows) throughout the year except for closure on administrative or other basis which will be informed in advance.
He said to further facilitate the Pilgrims, Pakistan is building walkways to permit travel by foot from the start.
Pilgrims may travel individually or in groups, preferably of 15 people each.
He said the technical experts of both sides also discussed technical details of the corridor, including the alignment and other details of the proposed corridor.
Pakistan agreed to the Indian request to construct a bridge in the second phase after the 550 anniversary celebrations.
The bridge will be constructed in phase 2 due to time constraints with a creek pathway constructed in the interim period.
The Pakistan delegation planted a sapling to commemorate the spirit of cooperation and friendship of Pakistan's Kartarpur Initiative.
He said that work on Pakistan side is proceeding speedily with more than 70 % of Gurdwara Complex, Terminal Building and Road completed.
What about entering fees ?According to sources in the Foreign Ministry, Pakistan has given proposals about the number and entry procedure of the Sikh pilgrims. Pakistan will allow them to enter without visa. However, they should have a valid Indian passport and a clearance from the Indian Ministry of Interior.
They will be allowed to visit Pakistan in groups of at least 15 persons. Indian government will provide list of the pilgrims to Pakistan at least three days in advance.
According to the proposal, both the countries will set up facilitation centres and check posts on their own sides. Gurdwara Darbar Sahib will remain open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Both the countries will also maintain record of the Sikh pilgrims which will include name, address and travelling record.
