Overview

• State governments will propose pilgrim groups to the MEA, with final clearance issued by the MHA.
• The MHA has set specific safety guidelines for cross-border travel by the approved jathas.
• With India’s side of the Kartarpur Corridor closed since May, pilgrims are expected to use the Attari–Wagah crossing.
• Itineraries include Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur’s Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, coordinated by the SGPC and Pakistan’s Evacuee Trust Property Board.
• The move reverses a recent temporary bar tied to security tensions, and the MEA is expected to announce group sizes and travel dates ahead of the November 7 observance.
