Moga: Pakistan government has, in
principle, agreed to open almost all the 172 gurdwaras in the
country in a phased manner for pilgrims, a religious
organisation claimed today.
The Pakistan Government has also agreed to get vacated
34 gurdwaras encroached by the locals, Sohan Singh, vice
president of the Bhai Mardana Yadgari Kirtan Darbar Society
who is currently on a pilgrimage of Sikh shrines in Pakistan
with a delegation, told PTI over phone.
Singh said he had talks with Pakistan`s Chief
Parliamentary Secretary Ramesh Lal, Pakistan Wakf Board
Chairman Aasai Hasmi and Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Prabhandak
Committee chief Sham Singh.
After their renovation, these Sikh shrines will be

About 50 ft wide and two km long corridor from
Gurdwara Kartapur Sahib to Dera Baba Nanak has already been
completed and the remaining one kilometre stretch upto border
