Ganda Singh wala border at Kasur - closed since 1970s
Here, as in Wagha to the north, Pakistani and Indian soldiers lower their respective flags and officially “close” the border nightly. Ganda Singh Wala differs in several ways however; the border here is never officially ‘open’; the ceremony is simply a formality. Out of the way, the crowds at Ganda Singh Wala are smaller than those at Wagha. However they’re no less rowdy; in fact the border at Ganda Singh Wala slices across the road diagonally, meaning that the cheering and jeering crowds of patriots sit face-to-face.
Indian crowd & seating area..

A coursemate of my Father's almost drowned in the indus...
You know the trolley type thing used to cross rivers in GB... the guy was crossing at night and the wire broke ... throwing him in the ragging indus waters on a cold freezing december night..
The officer went with the flow (literally)... riding the current,staying afloat and ending up hugging a boulder ... lucky guy..

‘Pakistan Gate’ at Taftan inaugurated: ISPR

The ‘Pakistan Gate’ at Taftan, near the Pakistan-Iran border was inaugurated Wednesday, marking the completion of the first phase which had commenced on July 16.
According to a statement issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Commander Southern Command Lt Gen Aamir Riaz inaugurated the facility which comprises two gates and is visible from a distance of two kilometres on both sides of the border.
The facility is equipped with CCTV cameras and has offices of the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra), Pakistan Customs and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). Security is multi-tiered and is provided by Levies and the Frontier Corps.
The second phase of the project will commence shortly, the ISPR statement added, which will also include a rest area for pilgrims as well as other travellers going to Iran and coming back.
A yard of the National Logistics Cell will also be built to "manage commercial activities", it said.
Torkham Gate
Earlier this year, Torkham Gate, called Bab-i-Pakistan, at the Pak-Afghan border was also inaugurated.
Work on the construction of the gate and allied facilities began in 2014, but Afghan reservations over border regulation kept causing delays.
Clashes between Pakistani and Afghan security forces over the construction of the border gate in June 2016 left four soldiers dead on both sides, including Frontier Corp’s Major Ali Jawad Changezi.
