- mminer237 9mo agoGenerally the border between Paxistan and India cannot be crossed though. I believe Attari/Wagah is the only place, and it was closed too last I heard.
- abdullahkhalids 9mo agoIndeed, it has been closed since the aerial clashes last year. But we can hope for peace, and with it cross border tourism.
- selimthegrim 9mo agoCan locals still cross at Kasur/Ganda Singh Wala like before 1971?
- abdullahkhalids 9mo agoTo my knowledge, no. In the recent past, either you could cross via the the Wagah-Attari border crossing or get on the Thar Express train [1], which connects Karachi with Jodhpur via the Zero Point crossing. But the Thar Express has been closed since 2019. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thar_Express https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thar_Express

It’s in relative peace while the border region of Iran/Pakistan see regular fighting between Pakistani forces and Baluch separatists[1]. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balochistan_Liberation_Army https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balochistan_Liberation_Army
