Someone has to meet the costs of this project and given Pakistan’s perilous economic situation why should the Pakistani taxpayer subsidise foreign pilgrims?
The infrastructure must have cost millions of $s to build and then there’s the ongoing costs like security.
It’s not perfect but then it’s better than the alternative which would have been no kartarpur corridor at all.
This is a fair post.
I would be interested to know why indian government brought up this concern in the first place.
Do they offer free visa to those pakistanis visiting ajmer sharif or other religious sites?
Because if they do maybe that is why they are upset.
But either way, you are right, pakistani economy can not support security costs, construction costs etc.. for this corridor. The service fee is legitimate in this case.
