Beating Retreat ceremony at Attari border suspended amid Indo-Pak tensions

The glittering Beating Retreat ceremony, held traditionally at the Attari-Wagah border in Amritsar between India and Pakistan, was suspended on Wednesday amid rising tensions between the two countries.

Tensions further flared between the two neighbouring countries after Indian forces carried out precision airstrikes under Operation Sindoor against terror launchpads in Pakistan and POK, in retaliation to the Pahalgam



terrorist attack, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians on April 22.

After the Beating Retreat ceremony was suspended, several Indian tourists who had come to the Attari border to witness the spectacle were left disappointed and were asked to leave.

However, they were still in high spirits and supported the government's move of a major military retaliation against Pakistan and its terror factories.
