In view of the terrorist attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam, a decision has been taken to scale down the ceremonial display during the Retreat Ceremony at Attari in Amritsar, Hussainiwala in Ferozepur and Sadki in Fazilka, in Punjab. No gate opening will be conducted even during the retreat ceremony. At the same time, no handshake will be done after lowering the Indian flag at the time of sunset as was the protocol.
Meanwhile, hundreds of tourists visiting the Attari-Wagah Joint Check Post to see the world-famous Retreat ceremony, today, expressed anguish over the attack and demanded that stern action should be taken against those responsible for it.
