Sindh’s government is pioneering an initiative reminiscent of the groundbreaking Kartarpur Corridor, this time catering to Hindu and Jain devotees. Spearheaded by Provincial Minister for Tourism Zulfiqar Ali Shah, the proposal aims to establish a religious corridor near the Pakistan-India border in Nagarparkar and Umarkot. These regions boast rich historical and spiritual significance, housing revered Jain temples and the esteemed Shri Shiv Mandir.
In a bid to bolster religious tourism, Shah advocates for the introduction of weekly flights from India to Sukkur or Larkana. This strategic move would facilitate seamless travel for Indian pilgrims seeking to pay homage to these sacred sites in Pakistan.
The Kartarpur Corridor, a symbol of cross-border harmony inaugurated in 2019, serves as a guiding light for this ambitious endeavor. By affording Sikh pilgrims visa-free access to the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan, it exemplifies the potential for amicable relations between India and Pakistan.
With a similar corridor envisioned for Hindu and Jain devotees, the Sindh government endeavors to foster cultural exchange and deepen bilateral ties. This progressive initiative not only promises easier access to revered religious landmarks but also holds the promise of nurturing mutual understanding and cooperation between the two nations.
