Wagah Border Punjab In India Editorial Photo

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.[3] At the time of independence in 1947, migrants from India entered Pakistan through this border crossing. The Wagah railway station is 400 metres 1,300 ft to the south and 100 metres 330 ft from the border.
