WAHGA - ATTARI BORDER CROSSING CEREMONY.
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 Wahga-Attari border marching ceremony is known as the "Silly Walk ceremony"
& it happens at the border gate, two hours before sunset each day. The flag ceremony is conducted by the Pakistani Rangers and Indian Border Security Force (BSF).
India erected a 360 ft flagpole on their side of the border in Attari & in August 2017, a 400 ft Pakistani flagpole was installed on the Wahga side which is 40 ft taller than the Indian flagpole.
