Excellent step.

Seal the border, bullet proof and water tight.
Fence it,
Dig a Ditch
Mine it
patrol it.

 

[somebozo]

It is said to be complete in December.
But I think. It's impossible.
Not because we don't have skill but due to the lack of funds. If there are funds they can do it in minutes.
Also population living on zero point has to be moved.
But everything is possible.
Till now they are successful in dealing only 200 km in kp and balochistan all together and my guess is quite pessimist.
It is the need of the hour.
Besides the quality of the border checkpost is really bad.
Need good infrastructure to monitor the border through cameras and sensors too. Only then this fence would be beneficial.
Looks very flimsy tough.
Anyone who completes should deserve something special.
Please we need special border guard and monitoring system along with fence too.
You can stop 99 percent terrorism, by fencing and monitoring. Use of modern methods, such as biometric system, polio cards and full track with visa check. Only then visitors from across the borders be allowed. Ban all illegal cars.
You would get calm like nowhere in country.

Iran border is other then this 2250 km pak Afghan border.
This project is only at pak Afghan border.
Last year when army chief visited Iran, we see new gates constructed at pak Iran border at various check points.
They vowed to seal their border too. Not much news though. If media get time of nawaz sheriff only then they can focus on this. Intact it is media job to pressurize the people in power to fence it as soon as they can.
But Iranians are very strict at this. They kill anyone entering illegally sadly.
I think they must have sealed it.
No updates.
Iran and Pakistan has no conflict on any inch of border so that's a huge relief.

By our correspondent

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday began the second phase of fencing the border with Afghanistan as part of a series of measures to not only check infiltration of terrorists but also regulate the movement of people from both sides of the frontier.

Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa inaugurated work on the border fencing along the Balochistan portion of Pak-Afghan border at Panjpai, the military’s media wing said in a statement.

Balochistan Chief Minister Abdul Quddus Bizenjo and Home Minister and Tribal Affairs Sarfraz Bugti were also present on the occasion.

Interacting with tribal leaders and locals on the occasion, the army chief thanked them for their full support and cooperation in fencing as well as their participation in maintaining the security situation.

“Fencing will check cross-border movement of terrorists,” the army chief said and added, “However, special arrangements have been made to facilitate bilateral economic activity and legal movement in any way or form through designated crossing points.”

The Balochistan chief minister thanked Pakistan Army and FC for working hand in glove with the provincial government “to achieve the common vision of a shining Balochistan”.

The army chief also performed the groundbreaking ceremony of NUST Quetta Campus.

“With an estimated cost of Rs2.63 billion, the campus spans over 30 acres of land and will house 550 students.

“Besides usual disciplines, it will also have fields pandering to the specific requirements of Balochistan such as mining, water resource engineering, etc.,” the ISPR said.

Later, Gen Qamar also inaugurated the Rs2.28 billion Quetta Safe City project which was on hold for the last five years.

Upon completion, the safe city project will result in the betterment of the law and order situation and make Quetta more safe and secure.

“Pakistan has rejected terrorism and has achieved better peace after great sacrifices by armed forces backed by the whole Nation,” he added.

“Some elements are trying to influence the minds of our youth at this stage to create anarchy and dissatisfaction in society,” the army chief said, adding, “Pakistan Army will ensure the defence of the motherland in discharge of our constitutional duties.”

“It is for everyone to ensure that they abide by the law of the land and remain within the bounds of the Constitution.”

Great & I saw the video clip of it as well. What PA really needs to do is monitor & protect its border by using armed drones & snipers.

during an interview, commanding officer was asked about cost..
his answer was crore rupees for each km....he also divided the cost as 50% material and 50% logistic and labour cost

so if thats true than whole boarder should cost 2300km=2300 crore, forts are seprate and should cost around 1-2 million per forte=250 million = 25-50 crore

thus whole project will cost around 30 billion rupees so its doable..problem is lack of poltical will and funding that some people in high places get for keeping refugees and boarder un seal..

we are talking about a trillion dollars opoid industry
