The pilgrimage to the Kartarpur Sahib gurdwara was suspended in March 2020 because of the Covid-19 outbreak. The visa-free 4.7-kilometre long corridor connects the Indian border to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan. The road became operational in 2019 and was inaugurated by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan. The reopening of Kartarpur will benifit thousands of devotees, largely Sikhs, to visit the final resting place of Guru Nanak in Pakistan, as the alternate way via Attari-Wagah border requires a visa.
