BSF’s new guideline to see the retreat ceremony: 50% of the tourists will be allowed; Now 15 thousand people will be able to see the parade; The event was closed for 18 months 27 days

After 18 months and 27 days, the voices of the audience will reverberate in the gallery on the Attari border. BSF has started the retreat ceremony for the people with the new guideline. On the first day on Monday, when around 10,000 tourists who came to watch the Beating Retreat ceremony sat in the gallery and raised slogans of Bharat Mata ki Jai, the border resonated once again. But at present, only about 15 thousand tourists will be able to sit in the gallery with 35 thousand spectators. According to the new Corona guideline of BSF, at present only 50 percent of the audience will be allowed.

Tourists arrived at the Attari border to see the retreat ceremony.

It is worth noting that last month itself, the retreat ceremony was started on September 17 with only 300 people. But common people could not see it. These 300 people were either VIPs or had come to see the retreat ceremony with a pass made on the recommendation of someone. Whereas common Indians and tourists who arrived from different parts of the country kept waiting outside. There was growing resentment among the general public seeing 300 VIPs going inside daily. Therefore, by issuing a new guideline, the BSF allowed the common people to see the retreat ceremony.

After the retreat, tourists take a picture in front of the golden gate painted in the colors of the tricolor.

Retreat ceremony was closed with the first wave

Significantly, with the first wave of the corona epidemic, the retreat ceremony on the border was closed on 7 March 2020. The second wave also came and went and tourists started coming and going in Amritsar. Meanwhile, the tourists kept raising the demand of the BSF to start the retreat ceremony, but the BSF did not start it, saying about the corona wave. Last month, on 17 September 2021, the retreat ceremony was started with 300 VIPs. Now that the guideline has come, once again according to 50 percent capacity, the tourists have been allowed to come. At present, apart from the VIP gallery, only 15,000 tourists who come first will be allowed to access the gallery.

After the permission of 50 percent of the audience, 10 thousand tourists reached the Attari border on the first day.
