Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri said Friday the mode of access for Indian devotees headed for Kartarpur Sahib Gurudwara in Pakistan, is yet to be decided by the two countries.
"Whether access will be given to them by using passport as a travel document or VISA will be applied, are issues that are to be discussed bilaterally between the two countries. It is yet to be finalised," Puri told reporters.
He said that a decision has been taken that access from the Indian side the main road which goes up to Kartarpur Sahib will be completed in a time-bound manner.
After the Cabinet decision on November 22, 2018, a number of steps have been taken and one of them is to open the Kartarpur corridor, he said.
"We have so far decided that the access from our side the main road which goes up there (Kartarpur Sahib), and the specific corridor, we will complete in a time-bound manner."
