Beating Retreat resumes at India-Bangladesh border after 10 months
After more than 10 months, the Border Security Force (BSF) resumed Beating Retreat or lowering of the flags ceremony at Agartala-Akhaura border on Febraury 18.
It is a daily military practice in which the border guards of India and Bangladesh have been jointly taking part.
The ceremony is a symbol of both the countries' friendly relationship and cooperation.
"Months after COVID-19 restrictions, we are trying to restore and start from both sides.
For the time being, we are doing it from our side" said Susanta Nath, Inspector General, BSF Tripura Frontier.
Nath further informed that the Bangladesh Border Guards (BGB) will join the Border Security Force very soon.
The spot has been one of the tourist attractions on both sides as large number of visitors gathers to witness the ceremony annually.
India shares a 4,096-kilometer (2,545-mile) long international border which touches the northeast states of Assam, Tripura, Mizoram and Meghalaya.
More than 50 people have been injured in violent clashes in Bangladesh over a quota that allows relatives of ex-soldiers to take up to 30% of government jobs. Sky News
The highly anticipated Super 8 match between India and Australia in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 will take place on June 24 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia at 8 p.m. IST. This match is crucial for India, as a win will keep their unbeaten streak and potentially knock Australia out of the tournament, offering a chance for revenge after Australia's victory in the 2023 ODI World Cup final.
On November 19, 2023, Australia defeated India at Narendra Modi Stadium, leaving Indian fans and legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in tears. If India wins this match, Australia will be left with two points from three games and will have to rely on Bangladesh defeating Afghanistan to advance to the semifinals. However, Afghanistan is expected to challenge Bangladesh, whose World Cup performance has been poor so far.
Watch the new episode of Pitch Battle.
