Over 350 Sikh devotees from India, who arrived in this Pakistani city to attend the death anniversary of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev, have urged Islamabad and New Delhi to abolish visas for pilgrims.

The Sikh devotees, who are travelling under the aegis of India’s Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandhak Committee, arrived here Monday and would be visiting Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib situated in Narowal district of Pakistan.

The devotees urged both the governments “to abolish the visas for the pilgrimages”, Geo TV reported Tuesday.

The group would also visit other Sikh shrines, including Punja Sahib, Dera Sahib, Nankana Sahib, Sacha Sauda Sahib and Rohri Sahib, before leaving for India Sep 28.
