ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s postal service issued a special stamp to commemorate the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, the Press Information Department (PID) said in a statement released on Monday.
The tickets will be available for sale on November 9, the inaugural day of the Kartarpur Corridor.
It’s part of an initiative undertaken by Pakistan and India to connect the Sikh shrines of Dera Baba Nanak Sahib in India’s Punjab region to the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, Pakistan.
“Pakistan post will also establish a post office each in Kartarpur and Nankana Sahib to facilitate Sikh pilgrims. The tickets will be available in these post offices for sale,” the PID said, adding that the “tickets will also be made available for sale in 192 member countries through the universal post union.”
It follows the State Bank of Pakistan issuing a commemorative coin last week to mark the occasion.
Prime Minister Imran Khan will be inaugurating the corridor on November 9.
