    AIR Discussions(July 3rd week) 15th July. Significant Developments on Kartarpur Corridor ● Context: India, Pakistan held second round of talks at Wagah, to discuss on issues including pilgrims' safety, draft agreement and operationalisation of the Kartarpur corridor and related technical issues. ● Highlights of the talk: ⮚ Pakistan said that they are hopeful to have productive discussion and settlement of issues. The 70 per cent work on the corridor has been completed and that Pakistan participated in the talks with a positive mindset. ⮚ Pakistan and India agreed 80 per cent and beyond on the draft agreement and operationalisation of the landmark Kartarpur corridor. ⮚ Key issues such as connectivity at Zero Point and the number of pilgrims to be allowed through the Kartarpur corridor were discussed during the meeting. ⮚ India flagged its concerns over the security aspect. ⮚ India had earlier conveyed its strong concerns to Pakistan over the presence of a leading Khalistani separatist in a committee appointed by Islamabad on the project. ⮚ Matters related to the modalities of the corridor, who can use the corridor and its facilities, were discussed during the meeting. ⮚ The first round of talks was held in Attari on March 14 in the shadow of escalating bilateral tensions following the Pulwama terror attack. ⮚ Both sides had jointly surveyed the coordinates of the Zero Point and discussed the technical details, including finished road level, high flood level etc. ● Background: ⮚ Government of India had decided to commemorate 550th Birth Anniversary of Shri Guru Nanak Dev by building Kartarpur Corridor. ⮚ The corridor will connect Darbar Sahib in Pakistan's Kartarpur with Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Gurdaspur district and facilitate visa-free movement of Indian Sikh pilgrims, who will have to obtain a permit to visit Kartarpur Sahib, which was established in 1522 by Sikh faith founder Guru Nanak Dev.

    Daily Answer Writing Program MTS-29: 01st July, 2021 Syllabus- GS Paper III- Indian Economy, Agriculture, Science & Technology, Environment, Disaster Management & Internal Security Q1. By opening the Kartarpur corridor India has addressed the religious sentiments of Sikhs and India has shown its willingness to ease the border issue. But the concerns of India over the geopolitical and security ramifications of the project is genuine. Analyse. (10 Marks, 150 Words) Introduction The partition of India and Pakistan persistently highlights the realities of a shared past. Several sites of religious significance to the region’s three main religions are located on either side of the division. The Protocol on Visits to Religious Shrines (1974) allows respective citizens the opportunity to visit religious shrines in each country under certain conditions. Kartarpur Corridor 1. The Kartarpur corridor connects Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur in Pakistan with Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Gurdaspur district of Punjab in India. 2. It facilitates the visa-free movement of Indian pilgrims, who will have to obtain only a permit to visit Kartarpur Sahib. 3. It is the first visa-free corridor between the two neighbours since their independence in 1947. Religious Sentiments & Border Issues 1. Pakistan’s Kartarpur Sahib is revered as the place where Guru Nanak is said to have spent his final days and where he breathed his last. 2. Previously, Sikh pilgrims from India had to take a bus to Lahore to get to Kartarpur, which is a 125 kilometres (78 miles) journey, or they could physically see Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur from the Indian side from an elevated observation platform.
