Several families which got separated during partition between India and Pakistan in 1947 have been united thanks to the Kartarpur corridor which opened up on 9 November 2019.
The Kartarpur Corridor is a visa-free border crossing and religious corridor, connecting the Gurudwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan to Gurudwara Dera Baba Nanak with India.
In a latest heartwarming story which came to light on social media, siblings who got separated during partition have finally united through Kartarpur corridor. The brother is now a Sikh living in India and the sister is a Muslim from Pakistan.
Man Aman Singh Chhina, a journalist based out of Chandigarh tweeted about the long separated siblings stating: “One of the biggest advantages of Kartarpur Corridor has been that long separated siblings from 1947 have been able to meet each other. Just watched a video of a Indian brother and his Pakistani sister meeting in Kartarpur. Makes the eyes well up.”
Similar reunion happened in Jan 2022, when a video of the tearful reunion, showing the elderly brothers, one from India and another from Pakistan, hugging each other at the visa-free Kartarpur Corridor, went viral.
