Will Kartarpur Corridor Remain Open Attari Check Post Closed Pahalgam Terrorist Attack

The relations between India and Pakistan have started to soar once again. 

Will the Kartarpur Corridor Remain Open As the Attari Check Post Would Be Closed Amid the Pahalgam Terrorist Attack? Well, the question has started to pop up after the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) met on Wednesday evening under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which took place on April 22. After this meeting, the Government of India took 5 major decisions, which included the closure of the Attari Check Post. However, the question that comes to the mind of Sikh devotees is whether the Kartarpur Corridor will also be closed or will it continue to remain open for devotees. 

Recognizing the seriousness of this terrorist attack, the CCS decided upon the following measures:

  • The Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 will be held in abeyance with immediate effect until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism.
  • The Integrated Check Post Attari will be closed with immediate effect. Those who have crossed over with valid endorsements may return through that route before 01 May 2025.
  • Pakistani nationals will not be permitted to travel to India under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) visas. Any SVES visas issued in the past to Pakistani nationals are deemed cancelled. Any Pakistani national currently in India under an SVES visa has 48 hours to leave India.
  • The Defence/Military, Naval and Air Advisors in the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi are declared Persona Non Grata. They have a week to leave India. India will be withdrawing its own Defence/Navy/Air Advisors from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. These posts in the respective High Commissions are deemed annulled. Five support staff of the Service Advisors will also be withdrawn from both High Commissions.
  • The overall strength of the High Commissions will be brought down to 30 from the present 55 through further reductions, to be effected by 01 May 2025.

Will Kartarpur Corridor Remain Open? 

As for now, there has been no clarification on the same, as the Government of India has neither specifically ordered the closure of the Kartarpur corridor nor has it clarified if it would remain open. Only time will tell if it will continue to operate or not, as the relations between India and Pakistan have started to soar once again.
