Sikh Yatra and Junta business

Recently, the Chief Minister of Punjab, Honourable Mohsin Naqvi inaugurated the booking portal for Sikh pilgrims to Nankana Sahib yatra and other sacred Gurdwaras in Pakistan. As the provincial information ministry apprised the media, the CM instructed the authorities to launch the first-ever religious tourism program to facilitate the Sikh pilgrims and promote interfaith harmony.

Through this portal, Sikh pilgrims around the world would be able to access online hotel booking, transportation, and hire security and Taxi services making their pilgrimage planning more efficient, easy and cost-effective. Addressing the media, CM Punjab stated that Sikh pilgrims will receive warm hospitality and VIP treatment, ensuring a fulfilling and memorable experience during their religious journey. He also announced the establishment of a Tourism police in order to enhance the security of religious and general tourists in the province.

The caretaker Chief Minister Punjab is a talented journalism icon and tactful politician. The incumbent ruler kicked off his political legacy and public service with the renovation of religious shrines, and the inauguration of graveyards in a bid to provide the public with state-of-the-art facilities for religious rituals and funeral services to the Muslim populace. Punjab rulers have tirelessly worked to remove hurdles of Sikh Yatrees during their visits to Pakistan. Although, the PTI government established a few kilometres long Kartarpur Corridor to provide Sikh Yatrees with safe, secure and easy access to the Gurdwara Kartar pur Sab, but the previous government ignored the difficulties confronted by the thousands of affluent Sikh Yatrees coming from wealthy destinations in Europe, Australia and North America in booking local hotels, taxies and hiring security guards. Thus, the interim leader has officially launched a portal to offer the Sikh Yatrees all essential luxuries at one touch in their nations.

While considering CM’s interest in religious businesses it would be more important to highlight that Buddhist and Hindu communities from across the globe visit their holy religious sites in Pakistan every year. Those historic religious sites might need renovation, whilst, Hindu and Buddhist monks also need such facilitation upon their arrival to Pakistan that essentially needs to be catered for at the earliest. The incumbent government has almost three months on its credit and all those plans can easily be implemented along with the facilitation of family and friends.
