It has to be mentioned here that the Sharda Devi temple at Kupwara in Jammu and Kashmir was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah back in May this year. Amit Shah inaugurated the temple near LoC in Kashmir virtually. After the inauguration, the temple was opened to the people.
Back then Amit Shah said that the Sharda Peeth pilgrimage in PoK would be opened soon on the lines of Kartarpur Corridor in Punjab. Ravinder Pandita stressed this now and requested the Home Minister to look into this proposal and open the pilgrimage.
