The Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur in Pakistan has been affected by flooding caused by the overflowing Ravi River, according to reports on Wednesday.

In the border areas of Gurdaspur district, the flow of the Ravi River has increased rapidly since Tuesday. Due to the rising water level of the Ravi River near the Dera Baba Nanak Kartarpur Corridor, many surrounding villages have been flooded.

The Ravi is situated on the border between India and Pakistan at Dera Baba Nanak, and the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara is located across the river.

The 4-km-long Kartarpur Sahib Corridor links Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, believed to be the final resting place of Guru Nanak, to Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district.
