Farmer gives land for Kartarpur corridor

CHANDIGARH: The Landport Authority of India started the construction of an Integrated Check Post (ICP) at the Dera Baba Nanak for the Kartarpur Corridor last week. Formalities to acquire the land for the corridor and ICP are yet to be completed. Authorities have already begun work on farmer Lakha Singh, who has given away 16.5 acres for construction of the ICP. Lakha Singh said, “Every Sikh has dream to visit the Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib. This corridor will make this dream come true. I am ready to give my land for the project. I will accept the compensation that would be given by the government.” He added, “”This is the least we can do for the Guru's project. It is on the government now if it pays us compensation or not. I have given the land already.”
