Kartarpur Corridor: Pact remains unsigned between Pakistan, India.

ISLAMABAD -- Despite 18 days left for the inauguration of the Kartarpur corridor, India has halted the registration process for the Sikh pilgrims who intend to visit Pakistan's Kartarpur on the 550th Birth Anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak in early November, due to unclear reasons, sources familiar with the matter told a private TV channel on Monday.

Contrarily, Pakistan's on its side of the border pushed the Kartarpur corridor into its final phase for facilitating Sikh pilgrims and promoting religious harmony.

Sources said that so far both countries could not agree to a number of issues, including India's aberrant demand to Pakistan to abolish $20 charge per pilgrim. However, Pakistan has repeatedly refused this demand, turning the matter into serious bone of contention.

Pakistan and India were due to sign a pact to settle the remaining issues by the end of last week, but that did not happen.

Reportedly, construction process and painting of the shrine has been completed and electricity has been supplied to the site from Shakar Garh's grid station.

Imported marble has been used on the floor of the shrine that is spread on 10 acres. Fire extinguishers, sound systems and CCTV security cameras have been installed at the site.

Besides, construction of temporary guesthouses and a border terminal building has also been completed.

Prime Minister Imran Khan will inaugurate the project on November...
