BSF boycott long standing traditions, no exchange of greetings with Pak rangers at Attari-Wagah border

Amid tension in Hiranagar, Samba and RS Pura sectors along the LOC, BSF has decided not to exchange sweets with Pakistan Rangers at Attari-Wagah border on Sunday. In a departure from tradition, the BSF has decided that it will neither offer nor accept sweets and gifts from the Pakistani Rangers.

“There is going to be no exchange this year at the Wagah border. Neither are we going to offer nor will we accept any gift,” said BSG IG Punjab Frontier Anil Paliwal. He suggested that the ‘prevailing situation’ along the border prevented the BSF from showing any “soft gestures” to the Pakistani Rangers.
