NIC is the technology partner to the Ministry of Home Affairs for design, development and implementation of the online registration portal i.e., https://prakashpurb550.mha.gov.in/, network setup at Integrated Check Post (ICP) and Immigration clearance system for Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor project that links the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan to Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Punjab, India.
Developed by NIC-IVFRT team, the online registration portal for pilgrims was launched on 24th October 2019, wherein pilgrims can register themselves online and exercise the choice to travel any day. After successful registration, pilgrims get notified through an SMS and email for the confirmation of registration.
Shri Narendra Modi, Hon’ble Prime Minister inaugurated the Integrated Check Post on 9th November 2019 and flagged off the first batch of pilgrims at Kartarpur Sahib Corridor in Gurdaspur, Punjab. He took a guided tour of the Passenger Terminal setup prior to the inauguration of the Corridor.
The project has been implemented by NIC in a record time and within the deadline of inauguration by the Hon’ble Prime Minister. The entire network infrastructure and immigration control system at Dera Baba Nanak ICP has been set up with operationalization of 56 immigration counters. A total of 562 pilgrims were part of the first ‘jatha’ who visited Gurdwara Darbar Sahib on the first day of the pilgrimage.
