The gates at Attari-Wagah border that used to open symbolically every evening—sometimes even for the exchange of sweets on festivals—are now firmly shut.
Wagah, the once-hopeful border that tied families and friends across India and Pakistan, has now turned into one of hurried, confused, abrupt goodbyes and interrupted life plans.
