Wagah

Wagah (/wɑːˈɡə/; Punjabi: واگھا [ʋäː˦ˈgä]; Urdu: واہگہ [ˈwɑːɦˌgɑː]), also spelled Wagha or Wahga, is a village and union council (UC 181) located in the Wahga Zone near Lahore City District, Pakistan.[1] The town is famous for the Wagah border ceremony and also serves as a goods transit terminal and a railway station between Pakistan and India.[2] Wahga is situated 600 metres (2,000 ft) west of the border and lies on the historic Grand Trunk Road between Lahore and Amritsar in India.[3] The border crossing draws its name from Wahga village, near which the Radcliffe Line, the boundary demarcation line dividing India and Pakistan upon the Partition of British India, was drawn.[4] At the time of the independence in 1947, migrants from India entered Pakistan through this border crossing and vice versa.
