This year, there will be no joint or coordinated parade at the Attari border on Republic Day. Earlier, Pakistan and India used to do a joint parade, which spectators used to watch from both the side.
This year, no public will be allowed due to COVID-19 restrictions at the Attari border.
"No joint or coordinated parade this year at Attari border on Republic Day. No public will be allowed due to COVID-19 restrictions. India will conduct flag-lowering as per daily schedule," a Border Security Force (BSF) senior official said.
Since March 7 public was not allowed at the Attari border due to COVID-19 restrictions.
According to sources, India has not been offering sweets to Pakistan on various occasions due to the tense relationship with Pakistan.
BSF sources have also claimed that a meeting is scheduled this week to decide what can be done on Republic day.
