New Delhi: The signing of the Kartarpur Corridor agreement between India and Pakistan is likely to be postponed by a day due to some reason and the ceremony may now take place on Thursday, sources said.
It is learnt that the agreement could take place at the zero line. The development comes a day after India declared that it was ready to sign the agreement with Pakistan on Wednesday. However, there was no official declaration over the issue.
The Ministry of External Affairs on Monday had declared that it would be ready to sign the agreement on Kartarpur Sahib Corridor on October 23 (Wednesday) and also expressed its disappointment as Pakistan insists on levying a $20 service fee on every Kartarpur pilgrim.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the corridor on November 9 and dispatch the first lot of pilgrims to visit Kartarpur Sahib gurudwara. Former PM Manmohan Singh would be a part of the Sikh delegation led by Punjab CM Amarinder Singh.
