Make a run for the border!
A quick clip on the Indo/Pak Wagah border opening/closing ceremonies:
Wikipedia:
Wagah (Hindi वाघा, Urdu واەگه) is the only Indo-Pak road crossing between Amritsar, India and Lahore, Pakistan.In other news, an orthopedic/podiatrist clinic has recently opened just outside the border crossing; doctors are seeing wild success.
It is a ceremonial border, where, each evening, armed soldiers from each side of the border enact a particularly hostile parade while lowering their respective flags to the sounding of bugles.
Although the parade used to be hostile, over the past few years it has become much more moderate. Now soldiers from both sides of the border shake hands before closing the border gates. This is seen as the result of dialogues and improved relationship between India and Pakistan.
Now even some officers walk to other side HQ for some day to day affairs.
