Sindh tourism minister wants Kartarpur-like religious corridors in province
Sindh Tourism Minister Zulfiqar Ali Shah has proposed on Thursday that religious corridors like those in Kartarpur in Punjab be established in the province to facilitate the people of Hindu and Jain faiths.
During an event in Dubai, the minister shared his vision of promoting tourism in Sindh, proposing that the corridor could be established in Umarkot and Nagarparkar, both cities with a rich historical heritage and multiple Jain temples, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the profound history of these places.
He stressed that many Hindus and Jains from India are interested in visiting Sindh.
The provincial minister also suggested that the Sindh government could start a weekly flight from India to Sukkhur or Larkana for religious tourists.
The minister added that Shri Shiv Mandir is one of the old Hindu temples located in Umarkot. He further explained that some people believe it is almost 2000 years old.
