Amritsar: Change in timing of daily retreat ceremony at Wagah-Attari border
PTC Web Desk: The timing of the daily retreat ceremony at the Wagah-Attari border has been changed. The Border Security Force (BSF) has announced that the parade will now commence at 6 pm, instead of the earlier 5.30 pm. The adjustment has been made considering the seasonal changes and daylight duration.
The retreat ceremony, a grand display of synchronised marching, national anthems, and flag-lowering by the Indian and Pakistani security forces, attracts thousands of spectators daily. Tourists from across India and abroad visit the border to witness the high-energy event, filled with patriotic fervor and disciplined military precision.
BSF officials stated that during summers, sunset occurs later, making it necessary to align the flag-lowering process with appropriate daylight conditions. The shift in timing ensures the ceremony takes place at an ideal hour for visibility and coordination.
The retreat ceremony at Wagah-Attari border is known for its electrifying atmosphere, with the crowd chanting "Bharat Mata Ki Jai," "Vande Mataram," and "Hindustan Zindabad."
Tourists planning to attend are advised to take note of the new timing and schedule their visit accordingly.
