Kartarpur visit online registration starts 20 Oct |
With the first batch of Sikh pilgrims set to leave for Darbar Sahib in Pakistan on November 8, Indian authorities will launch the online registration on Sunday for those interested in making the sacred journey along the newly laid Kartarpur corridor. Initially, pilgrims would be required to register online a month prior to the date of journey. If the application is not accepted, they can try again after a month. If it doesn`t happen even then, they can come in person to register themselves. The Ministry of Home Affairs is also planning to enhance mobile connectivity along the Kartarpur corridor to ensure that pilgrims are not inconvenienced. As a state policy, mobile connectivity is maintained at weak levels along border areas. But authorities in India are looking at relaxations on their side of the corridor to ensure proper communication links for pilgrims at all times. For security reasons, India has also made it mandatory for all pilgrims to return the same day after offering darshan at Darbar Sahib - the final resting place of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev. Indian officials will accompany each batch to ensure that nothing is amiss through the course of the pilgrimage.
