PM Narender Modi to inaugurate Kartarpur Corridor Passenger Terminal Building (PTB).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the state-of-the-art Passenger Terminal Building (PTB) Complex at Kartarpur Corridor in Dera Baba Nanak of Punjab’s Gurdaspur district on Saturday at 11 am.
Earlier this week, Home Minister Amit Shah had on Twitter urged people to “witness history being created” on November 9 with the inauguration of the corridor.

ON 6 November Amit Shah’s Tweet “With opening of Kartarpur Sahib corridor, when we are marking Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s 550th Parkash Purab, PM @narendramodi has realised the long-cherished dream of millions. On 9th, let’s witness history being created as PM @narendramodi dedicates this corridor to the nation,”.

The design and quality parameters also have been prepared to keep in view the aspirations and religious sentiments of the followers of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism.
The Tented City project in Gurdaspur district developed at a cost of Rs. 4.2 crore, has been left damaged, with hoardings announcing the ‘Dera Baba Nanak Utsav’ lying scattered around the 30-acre complex.
The design of the PTB Complex has been inspired by the symbol ‘Khanda’ which represents the values of oneness and humanity.
It is supposed to have adequate immigration and customs clearance facilities to process the smooth movement of approximately 5,000 pilgrims per day. Kartarpur Corridor is seen as a big turning point in PM Modi and Imran Khan’s diplomatic ties.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan will also inaugurate the other side of the Kartarpur Corridor on the same day, apart from other events that will be hosted to mark Guru Nanak Dev’s birth anniversary.
