The Retreat ceremony (lowering of the flags ceremony) at Mahavir/Sadqi international parade ground like Wagah/Attari and Hussainiwala National Martyrs Memorial is a daily retreat ceremony ritual in which the security forces of India (Border Security Force) and Pakistan (Pakistan Rangers) are performing daily joint ceremonial drill.[1]

It is alternatively a symbol of the two countries' rivalry, as well as brotherhood and cooperation.

Overview

It is on national highway no-10 and about 14 KM from District Headquarter Fazilka.
