The 'beating Retreat' ceremonies will resume at Amritsar's Attari, Ferozepur's Hussainiwala, and Fazilka's Sadiqi border check posts along Pakistan on Tuesday, 10 days after the cessation of aerial warfare following Operation Sindoor .
The flag-lowering ceremonies would resume at 6pm on Tuesday, said BSF IG of Punjab Frontier Atul Fulzele. The gates will remain closed, and BSF jawans will not shake hands with their Pakistan Rangers ' counterparts, he added.
The decision has sparked hope among tourists. "We are lucky that BSF resumed the daily parade, and we will be able to see it and call it a complete Amritsar trip," said Bhavini Sen, a tourist from Gujarat.
The local taxi and auto drivers, whose daily earnings depend heavily on the footfall at Attari, are equally happy. "For over a week, I barely earned anything because there were no visitors to Attari," said Arman, a taxi driver. "But I believe things are now returning to normal."
