Kartarpur Shrine Fully Restored After Flood, Says Pakistan
The Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, a very important place for Sikhs, was flooded when the Ravi River overflowed due to heavy rains.
The flood damaged parts of the gurdwara.
After the water went down, many volunteers and workers quickly cleaned and fixed everything.
They pumped out the water, cleaned up the mud, and made sure the main building was safe.
This allowed the Kartarpur Corridor, which lets Sikh people from India visit, to reopen.
The gurdwara is very important because it's where Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, is buried.
Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur was affected by flooding.
The flooding was caused by the Ravi River overflowing due to monsoon rains.
The Kartarpur Corridor was temporarily closed due to the flooding.
Pakistan's ETPB led a restoration effort after the floodwaters receded.
The Gurdwara has been fully restored and is operational again.
