What happened
A proposal was made for an economic corridor intended to support heritage restoration and tourism in Pakistan. The corridor would link Nankana Sahib to Khyber Pass, including the redevelopment of Jamrud Fort and Baba Phoola Singh Chhauni. The official proposing the corridor claimed that approximately USD 700 million had been secured for the project, including USD 9 million.

Why it matters
The proposal aims to leverage heritage sites for tourism and infrastructure growth. This initiative involves significant claimed funding and the development of new economic routes within the region. The proposal also highlighted a contrast between government claims of protecting Sikh heritage and reports of neglect at Gurdwaras in Pakistan.
