Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has realised the long-cherished dream of millions by working to get the Kartarpur Sahib corridor open for Indian pilgrims.

"With opening of Kartarpur Sahib corridor, when we are marking Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s 550th Parkash Purab, PM @narendramodi has realised the long-cherished dream of millions. On 9th, let’s witness history being created as PM @narendramodi dedicates this corridor to the nation," Amit Shah said in a tweet, while sharing a video on the new corridor.

The video, a precursor to November 9 grand event, takes the viewers through the amenities designed to help pilgrims visiting Kartarpur Sahib Gurudwara, where first Sikh Guru Nanak Dev held his first communion. Kartarpur Sahib, located in Pakistan's side of the border, is also the final resting place of the Sikh Guru.
