Kartarpur corridor to have 80 immigration counters

Pakistan has set up 80 immigration counters at the Kartarpur Corridor to speed up the clearance process for the large number of pilgrims who are expected to visit the holy shrine. India and Pakistan last week signed the agreement on the Kartarpur Corridor that will allow Indian pilgrims to undertake visa-free travel to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, the shrine of Guru Nanak Dev in Pakistan. The agreement will allow 5,000 Indian pilgrims to visit the Gurdwara daily. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) will send a clearance list of the pilgrims to the Indian border force 10 days before their arrival. Pilgrims will have their passports scanned on their arrival and will undergo biometric screening.
