— Dr Mohammad Faisal (@ForeignOfficePk) November 8, 2019Last month, Pakistan announced to charge pilgrims with the USD 20 service fee to which India had expressed its strong objection and asked Pakistan to reconsider its decision given the religious and spiritual sentiments of the pilgrims.
The corridor which will be inaugurated on Saturday will facilitate the visa-free movement of thousand of devotees, but Indian pilgrims are required to carry their passports.
