The opening of the Kartarpur Corridor has been a long-standing demand by India to meet the aspirations of the Sikh community, which considers the Kartarpur Gurdwara as amongst its holiest shrines. The Gurdwara is located inside Pakistan, approximately 3–4 Kms from the international border. The Gurdwara was established in 1522 by the First Sikh Guru on the banks of the river Ravi. It is an important place of pilgrimage as Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji spent his last 18 years there.
