No sweet exchange at Attari border on Eid

ANI  |  Srinagar (Jammu&Kashmir) [India] 

There will not be any exchange of sweets at border on the occasion of Eid, on Saturday, between the (BSF) troops and the Pakistani Rangers, as per sources.

This came in the light of simmering tension between and after the ceasefire violations in the Jammu region.

The sweet exchange between the two forces is a usual trend on the special occasions, such as Eid and Diwali.

According to the sources, Pakistani rangers showed interest in going ahead with the ritual, but BSF was in a denial mode.

Tension gripped the border areas after an incident in Samba region, where four BSF personnel were martyred.
