Beating Retreat Ceremony at Akhaura Border (Indo-Bangladesh Border) - Inaugurated in 2013, the Agartala - Akhaura check post is the 2nd largest Indian trading centre with Bangladesh. It divides India and Bangladesh, along the border of Tripura. Lying about 6 km from the city of Agartala, the border boasts infrastructure that is similar to that of the famous Ataari-Wagah Border in Amritsar. The place is a popular tourist spot as visitors come here to witness the ceremony in which the flags of the two countries are lowered by security personnel with a mutually coordinated performance. Created with the aim of easy facilitation of goods and passengers beyond borders, it also helps foster the Indo-Bangladesh relations.
