 In 2005 there were proposals to reopen the border, but it remained closed.Hussainiwala Headworks is located at this village across the Sutlej river which supplies irrigation water to Bikaner canal and Eastern canal

Since 1970 there has been a Retreat Ceremony at the border crossing every day at 6 pm, similar to the Mahavir/Sadaki near Fazilka and Wagah/Atari border ceremony.Attendees are seated in close proximity here, as compared to Wagah where crowds are kept far apart.
