Abdul Aleem Khan said international-standard three-, four-, and five-star hotels would be developed along the corridor to provide world-class facilities for visitors. He also directed the NHA to launch extensive promotional campaigns in London, Canada, and the United States to attract investment from the Sikh community and showcase the projects at global roadshows.
The minister added that the initiative would be a “game changer” for the region, boosting religious tourism while also benefiting residents of nearby towns such as Narang Mandi and Baddo Malhi.
