News India Live, Digital Desk: Beating retreat: Traditional Beating Retreat celebrations on the Attari-Wagh border in Amritsar and Hussainiwala border in Ferozepur will start again on Tuesday, but significant changes will be made in view of the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan.
This time the ceremony was restored with a small -sized Pahalgam terrorist attack and the removal of the major elements of the already existing protocol in response to fresh enmity between the two countries.
This time the ceremony is short In response to the recent terrorist attacks in Pahalgam, in which 25 tourists and a Kashmiri were killed, the major elements of the pre-determined protocol have been removed.
The border gates will remain closed in this ceremony, which starts at 6 pm, which will end the practice of joining hands between Border Security Force (BSF) personnel and Pakistani Rangers. According to the Punjab Frontier, the Jalandhar headquarters of the force, the ceremonies will be open only to media persons and common people can participate in it from Wednesday. According to the Punjab Frontier’s BSF IG Atul Phulzelle, this deviation from the established protocol is a clear indication among constant stressful relations.
The Beating Retreat Celebration is a tradition, which has been historically opened by both sides, after which hand is symbolically joined by both sides. However, the Pahalgam attack, in which 26 civilians were killed, inspired the BSF to temporarily suspend this part of the ritual as a demonstration of firmness against cross -border terrorism.
