Mahavir/Sadqi International Parade Ground
The Retreat ceremony (lowering of the flags ceremony) at Mahavir/Sadqi international parade ground in Fazilka, like Wagah border ceremony and Hussainiwala National Martyrs Memorial, is a daily retreat ceremony ritual in which the security forces of India (Border Security Force) and Pakistan (Pakistan Rangers) are performing daily joint ceremonial drill.[1]
