A customary exchange of sweets between the security forces of India and Pakistan on Eid ul-Fitr failed to take place at the Attari-Wagah border on Saturday due to frequent ceasefire violations on the Jammu and Kashmir border. A senior BSF officer said on condition of anonymity that, “Following continuous ceasefire violation by Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir, there was no exchange of sweets at the Attari-Wagah border.” He added that the customary gesture may not be undertaken in future until Pakistan stops ceasefire violations.
