Railways does the same thing for India that the backbone does for the human body. Railway has become an important part of the life of India and its people, but did you know that there is a station in India where you need a Pakistani visa and passport to go? To get to this station, you must have both a passport and a visa.

The name of this station is Attari Shyam Singh Station. This station is located in Amritsar, Punjab. Yes, this station is in India only where citizens are required to have Pakistani passport and visa and failing to do so can cause a case to be registered under the 14 Foreign Act. Note that if a case of violation is registered against you, then it is difficult to get bail from here. A train named 'Samjhauta Express' from Attari station goes to Lahore, Pakistan on Mondays and Thursdays only. This train starts from Delhi. So despite being an Indian citizen, you must have a Pakistani visa and passport. This is because after independence, there have been many differences between India and Pakistan, but the people of both the countries are still connected with each other somewhere.

The security of Attari station is done in a very special way. The Attari station is always under the watch of the security forces. Along with this, a private agency keeps an eye here with surveillance for 24 hours. The passport number of all the passengers traveling from the station is written, checked properly with luggage and only then a confirmed seat is given. Photography is prohibited here.

Another thing which is unique about Attari station is that you will not find porters at this station because porters are not allowed to come here. Keeping the security in mind, the porter is not allowed to stay at the station. So citizens are suggested to bring only necessary luggage. Apart from this, you will get all kinds of facilities and will get to listen and watch patriotic songs, movies on LED TV.
