Prime Minister Narendra Modi also flagged off the first 'jatha' of 500 pilgrims who visited the gurudwara on the same day.
India and Pakistan had on October 24 signed the agreement connecting Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Punjab's Gurdaspur with Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur in Pakistan. With the signing of this agreement, a formal framework was laid down for operationalisation of the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor.
