Wagah: The ceasefire along the Indo-Pak frontiers in Jammu and Kashmir found its reflection along the
Radcliff Line in Punjab when Pakistani Rangers exchanged sweets with their Indian counterparts to mark
Eid.
In a departure from the menacing gestures they make at each other every evening at this checkpost
along the border between the two countries, Pakistani officials offered sweets to Border Security Force
(BSF) officers, who greeted them on the festive occasion.
India and Pakistan agreed on an Eid ceasefire along the Line of Control, International Border and
Siachen Glacier, the first formal truce between the two Armies since the outbreak of militancy in Jammu
and Kashmir.
