The Attari-Wagha border parade was formally initiated in 1959 as a joint military practice between India and Pakistan. The beating retreat ceremony is a military ceremony that takes place at the point where India and Pakistan share an international boundary. The ceremony involved the synchronized marches, flag lowering, and a handshake between Indian and Pakistani soldiers. This marks the end of the day’s border activities and showcasing national pride.
The historic retreat ceremony at the Attari-Wagah border has been postponed because of the varying weather conditions. The ceremony, initially scheduled for 5:30 PM, will now start at 6:00 PM.
This most iconic parade by the BSF of India and the Pakistan Rangers continues to be a prime attraction for tourists from throughout the nation and the globe. Thousands of tourists come each day to see the energetic presentation of discipline, patriotism, and military drill at this historic crossing.
Tourists have been advised by the authorities to note the updated timings while making plans for their trip to avoid any inconvenience.
