Amritsar, May 12 -- The ceasefire between India and Pakistan has brought renewed hope to Indian devotees eager to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, the final resting place of Sikhism founder Guru nanak, located in Pakistan's Narowal district. The Kartarpur Corridor - a visa-free passage facilitating access to this historic Sikh shrine - had been closed by Indian authorities following rising tensions between the two neighbours after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Although Pakistan continued to keep its side of the corridor open, India suspended the pilgrimage on until further notice. On the morning of May 7, approximately 150 Sikh pilgrims, who had arrived at the Dera Baba Nanak Integrated Check Post in Punjab's Gurdaspur district, were turned back after waiting over 90 minutes, as the corridor was abruptly shut. Despite the ceasefire, Indian authorities have yet to announce when the pilgrimage will resume. Nevertheless, the Sikh community remains optimistic. "The ceasefire is a positive step. We urge the ministry of external affairs to reopen the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor - the religious gateway to friendship between India and Pakistan - at the earliest," said principal (retd) Kulwant Singh Ankhi, a social worker and patron of the Amritsar Vikas Manch. Dera Baba Nanak resident Baba Sukhdeep Singh Bedi, a descendant of Guru Nanak, echoed the sentiment: "The recent hostilities cast a shadow over the future of the corridor. This ceasefire is welcome news for us. We struggled for many years to see this corridor become a reality."...
