The BSF troops and Pakistan Rangers regularly exchange sweets at the Wagah Border in Punjab on various occasions. 


 



They shared sweets on Independence Day, Republic Day and Eid al-Adha.


However, there was no exchange of greetings on Republic Day this year due to rising incidents of ceasefire violations and border tension.


The tradition of exchanging sweets had briefly come to halt in 2016 in the wake of an attack on Indian Amry camp in Uri.
