Frontier Corps to curb ‘informal crossings’

[SparklingCrescent]

PESHAWAR: The Frontier Corps said on Friday that it would tighten security along the border with Afghanistan by putting an end to informal crossings.

‘All kinds of illegal movement’ along the border, including those at Torkham, would be stopped, a statement by the corps said.

‘Any person coming from or going to Afghanistan will not be allowed to cross the border without legal documents,’ it added.

A security official said arrangements had been made to stop infiltration by militants, without giving details.

‘We have already taken extra security measures and a surveillance system has also been intensified,’ the official said, requesting anonymity. — AFP

Very Good News.

This should have been done years ago though.

it is high time that official "entry/exit" points are set up along the afghan/pakistan border aka durand line. once the ops are completed (one year from now), the GoP should start fencing all the known informal entry/exit points along the borders. only Torkham / landi kotal, Chaman and one or two other towns should be designated as entry/exit points just like rest-of-the-world.

FC or anybody has no right to curb the free movement of tribal people across the Durand line. If the Government does not honor the pledge given by the founder of the nation Quaid-e-Azam, then it is difficult to make the people recognize its writ.

This is one of those over zealous gestures where we play more Loyal to the King than the King himself.
