Govt funds Wagah-like ceremony at Tripura border
The Centre has sanctioned funds to conduct a "Beating Retreat" ceremony at the Agartala-Akhaura border with Bangladesh, similar to that at Wagah in Punjab. The money was sanctioned under the 'Swadesh Darshan scheme' for building a mini stadium among other things, officials said. The Beating Retreat ceremony is performed at Wagah during the closing of the border every evening.
