After a 12-day hiatus, the Beating Retreat ceremony, which was stopped after operation Sindoor, will resume at the Attari-Wagah border in Amritsar, Punjab and Hussainiwala Border in Ferozepur from Tuesday.
The India-Pakistan flag meeting ceremony at the Attari-Wagah border has been scaled down amid heightened tensions between the two countries. Unlike previous years, the gates will remain closed, and participants will not shake hands during the ceremony.
