After the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, the Border Security Force (BSF) would restart the Retreat Ceremony parade at the Attari-Wagah joint check-post from tomorrow, while the spectators might be allowed from Wednesday, a BSF official confirmed today.

The ceremony will also restart at the Hussainiwala border in Ferozepur and Sadiqi International Border in Fazilka district tomorrow.

The world-famous ceremony was suspended following the escalation of tension between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam massacre which claimed 26 lives. This was followed by Indian Armed Forces carrying out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir under Operation Sindoor on May 6.

Though the customary flag-lowering ritual continued by the BSF at the joint check-post, the regular parade by the BSF jawans was stopped on May 7.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
