Anti-India slogans were raised from the Pakistani side during the retreat ceremony at the Attari-Wagah border in Punjab on Sunday, prompting the Border Security Force to register a protest with the Pak Rangers.


People seated in viewers gallery on the Pakistani side raised anti-India slogans at least for ten minutes, Indian officials posted at the Attari border said.


Officials said that some stones were also thrown from the Pakistani side a few minutes before the beginning of the retreat ceremony.


Officials said BSF held a flag meeting with the Pakistani Rangers after the 50-minute ceremony ended.


"There was sloganeering and unruly conduct by the spectators from the Pakistani side. There were some reports about pelting of stones also... We called a flag meeting with the Rangers and told them about the issue," a senior BSF official said.


The situation during the flag lowering ceremony was apparently quite tense.
