The Punjab Chief Minister, in response to a question, reiterated the need for caution.
Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh said on Monday that Punjab is on heightened alert ahead of the opening of the Kartarpur Corridor.
"I do not expect Pakistan to dare to do any mischief through the Corridor but it is important for Punjab, being a border state to remain on alert," said Amarinder Singh.
"The state is keeping close tabs on the situation and is maintaining a heightened alert," he added.
The Chief Minister, in response to a question, reiterated the need for caution. "The Sikh community had been asking for the opening of the passage to the sacred Kartarpur shrine for the past 70 years but Pakistan's sudden decision to accept the demand indicated an ulterior motive, aimed at putting a wedge between the Sikh Community by exploiting their religious sentiments."
