Border crossing The border crossing draws its name from Wahga village, near which the
Radcliffe Line, the boundary
demarcation line dividing India and Pakistan upon the
Partition of British India, was drawn. At the time of the independence in 1947, migrants from India entered Pakistan through this border crossing and vice versa. The
Wagah railway station is to the south and from the border.
Border crossing ceremony The
Wagah-Attari border ceremony happens at the border gate, two hours before
sunset each day. The flag ceremony is conducted by the
Pakistan Rangers and Indian
Border Security Force (BSF), similar to the retreat ceremonies at
Ganda Singh Wala/
Hussainiwala border crossing and
Mahavir/Sadqi International Parade Ground border crossing. A marching ceremony, known as the "Silly Walk ceremony", is conducted each evening along with the flag ceremony. The ceremony started in 1986 as an agreement of peace, although there was not a conflict at that time. ==Gallery==
