Prime Minister Khan congratulated Sikh pilgrims on 550th birthday of Sikh pilgrims at Kartarpur, and appreciated the work of all the departments who built the project within short span of time of 10 months. "I pay tribute to all those including FW for completing this historic project, building roads and complex within very short time," said Imran Khan.
