On Nov. 26, Indian Vice President Venkaiah Naidu and Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh laid the foundation stone at the Indian side at Dera Baba Nanak. Giving the green light to the corridor’s construction last week, India’s PM Modi even compared the project to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Nitin Gadkari, India’s minister for road transport and highways, has said that the corridor will be built in four months. The goal is for Indian pilgrims to be able to visit Kartarpur by November 2019, for Guru Nanak’s 551st birth anniversary.
