Alternatively, the devotees are visiting the shrine going via the Attari-Wagah border which requires a visa.

Furthermore, it must also be remembered that upon their arrival in Pakistan, all devotees will have temperature check, masks and social dispensing are necessary. Also, sanitization tunnel installed in the gurudwara complex.
