The Centre says the Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor continues to remain suspended because the current security situation does not permit reopening. According to reports, the government has received representations from Sikh religious groups and organisations seeking an early resumption for pilgrims. The Ministry of External Affairs also informed Parliament that the decision is driven by the “extant” or current security scenario. Separately, Times of India reports that MPs and Sikh groups have urged the government to restart services, while the Centre is working to address security and diplomatic considerations connected to Pakistan. Both accounts attribute the suspension to national security considerations and the need to reassess conditions before any reopening. The government’s stance is that the corridor will stay closed until the security environment allows resumption of services, despite ongoing requests from community groups for an earlier reopening.
