India said on Tuesday it would resume the daily border ceremony with Pakistan, which it briefly halted earlier this month following the most serious conflict between the nuclear-armed arch-rivals for decades.<\/p>\n
At least 60 people died in fighting triggered by an April 22 attack on tourists in occupied Kashmir that New Delhi accused Islamabad of backing \u2014 a charge Pakistan denied and demanded proof for.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s Border Security Force said the sunset ceremony on its side would be open to the media on Tuesday and to the general public on Wednesday at the Attari-Wagah land border.<\/p>\n
Pakistan said it never stopped the ceremony, with troops marching on the Wagah border alone.<\/p>\n
The ceremony is expected to be a low-key affair with diplomatic measures against Pakistan still in place, including the closure of the land border.<\/p>\n
For years, the ceremony at the Attari-Wagah border has been a popular tourist attraction.<\/p>\n
Visitors from both sides come to cheer on soldiers goose-stepping in a chest-puffing theatrical show of pageantry.<\/p>\n
The frontier was a colonial creation at the violent end of British rule in 1947, which sliced the sub-continent into India and Pakistan.<\/p>\n
The daily border ritual has largely endured over the decades, surviving innumerable diplomatic flare-ups and military skirmishes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
