This year, there will be no joint or coordinated parade at the Attari border on Republic Day. Earlier, Pakistan and India used to do a joint parade, which spectators used to watch from each the side.
This year, no public will be permitted due to COVID-19 restrictions at the Attari border.
“No joint or coordinated parade this year at Attari border on Republic Day. No public will be allowed due to COVID-19 restrictions. India will conduct flag-lowering as per daily schedule,” a Border Security Force (BSF) senior official mentioned.
Since March 7 public was not permitted at the Attari border due to COVID-19 restrictions.
According to sources, India has not been providing sweets to Pakistan on numerous occasions due to the tense connection with Pakistan.
BSF sources have also claimed that a meeting is scheduled this week to determine what can be accomplished on Republic day.
