The National Command and Operations Center (NCOC) has allowed Sikh pilgrims to come to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur to attend religious ceremonies on the occasion of Baba Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s anniversary next month. The NCOC meeting unanimously decided to allow Sikh pilgrims to visit Kartarpur next month under the strict protocols of Covid 19.
It should be noted here that due to the Delta variant, India was in the ‘C’ category from May 22 to August 12 and people coming from there, including Sikh pilgrims, needed special permission.

Apart from this, rapid anti-aging test will also be conducted at the airports and if the result is positive, the said person will not be allowed to enter Pakistan.

People from Category A countries were exempted from the mandatory quid test, while passengers from Category B countries were required to show a negative result of the PCR test conducted within 72 hours, while people from Category C were barred from entering. And they could only travel under the special instructions of the NCOC.
