DESPITE THREAT ,FLAG LOWERING CEREMONY AT PAKISTAN SIDE WAGAH BORDER CONTINUES

LAHORE: Not only a day had passed to the carnage that claimed at least 60 lives in a suicide blast at Wagah that Punjab Rangers went on with the routine flag-lowering ceremony at the border between Pakistan and India.

The ceremony came as the Punjab Rangers decided to continue with the flag-lowering ceremony at the border despite Sunday’s attack that left a pall of gloom across the country.

The decision came at a time when rumours were floating in political and media circles that the ceremony had been postponed for at least a period of three days and according to some until the situation normalised.
