Kartarpur corridor closure a temporary measure due to coronavirus: Punjab CM
Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Monday declared that the closure of the Kartarpur Corridor was only a temporary measure in the wake of Coronavirus outbreak.
During a press conference to mark his government’s three years in office, Punjab Chief Minister reiterated his commitment to ensuring that the Corridor, which marks the fulfillment of the long-cherished aspirations of the people to visit the historic Kartarpur Gurdwara, will always remain open, “except during crises”.
The decision to close the Kartarpur Corridor in the wake of the COVID 19 outbreak was a temporary precautionary measure aimed at checking the spread of the deadly disease, he pointed out. Adding, he said that there was no question of keeping it shut permanently.
Meanwhile, the opening of the Kartarpur Corridor had fulfilled the dream of millions of devotees to have ‘khulle darshan deedar’ of the historic Gurdwara, he said. Likewise, Punjab CM stated that the decision would not be allowed to be reversed at any cost.
