BSF Stops Sikh Nagar Kirtan En Route to Zero Line, Congregation Made to Sit on Ground

The Pakistan Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee organized a Nagar Kirtan that started from Gurudwara Shri Darbar Sahib and Shri Kartarpur Sahib, aiming to reach the Zero Line by about 5:30 p.m. Indian time. As the procession approached the border area, Border Security Force personnel intervened and stopped the march. The BSF officers ordered the participants to dismount and remain seated on the ground, effectively preventing them from proceeding further toward the Zero Line. No official statement was released at the time, and the congregation remained on the spot awaiting further instructions. The incident highlights the sensitivities surrounding attempts to press for the opening of the Kartarpur corridor.
