Kartarpur, Pakistan – The sacred Kartarpur Sahib Corridor has been hit by severe flooding after the River Ravi overflowed, breaking through protective barriers and submerging parts of the Gurdwara building. The sudden rise in water levels has triggered serious concern over the safety of this important heritage site and nearby residential areas.
According to officials, the flooding poses a significant risk not only to the Gurdwara but also to people living and working around the corridor. If water levels continue to rise, potential damage could spread further, impacting local infrastructure, communities, and historical structures.
Authorities have declared the situation highly sensitive due to the cultural and religious importance of the site. Disaster management teams are actively monitoring the barriers, reinforcing weak points, and coordinating with local administrations to minimize the impact. Emergency alerts have been issued, urging residents to stay cautious and avoid flooded areas.
Experts warn that continuous inflow from the River Ravi could worsen the crisis. Meanwhile, the government has assured that all necessary measures are being taken to protect the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara and safeguard surrounding communities.
Officials have urged the public to remain calm, follow official safety advisories, and prioritize security over all else. The focus remains on preserving the historical and cultural value of the Gurdwara while ensuring the safety of residents.
