TODAY A WONDERFUL DAY AT TOCHI MESS


Tochi Mess (Miranshah, FATA) which dates as far back as 1904, still harbours the bricks, lamp posts, cupboards and doors of that time. While standing there, I could feel the echoes of the past telling me a story of defiance and perseverance. A lot of wars have been won and lost in that region and they are reflected in every nook and corner of that place. I saw news articles and headlines of the various battles against Britishers and tribesmen that transported me to a very violent and savage time that this place has witnessed. Yet, in a war torn area like Miran Shah, North Waziristan it gave the illusion of security. The moment I would walk out of the doors, that false perception of tranquility would disappear. Tochi Mess was like a paradise in a war torn area where you could easily forget about the mundane and harsh realities of life in Miranshah, North Waziristan.

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Army has completed fencing of the first 482 km long patch of the 1,403km long Pakistan-Afghanistan border in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P). The fence is provided with security cameras and motion detectors.

On Thursday a delegation of journalists visited the Pakistan-Afghanistan Torkham border in the K-P’s Khyber district where security authorities gave them a detailed briefing on border management.

They said in 2017, the Pakistan Army in the first phase started working on 482 km long patch along Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Work on this patch has now completed well before time bringing about a visible decline in terrorism and smuggling.

Authorities said equipped with water, solar electricity and protection mines, 233 forts have also been constructed on the 1,403 km long border. To link these forts, safe tracks are also being constructed.

From the Torkham border crossing, around 1,200 trucks and 10,000 people enter and exit Pakistan but now no one gets permission to enter Pakistan without proper documents.

Special cards have been given to 200 Afghan students who live in Afghanistan but study in Pakistan. Emergency patients also get permission to enter Pakistan without documents.

They said as a goodwill gesture, the Afghan check posts near the border are provided water by Pakistan. However, the decision to fence the border has not gone down well with the Afghan government.

According to authorities, annually two-three attempts are made to disrupt the fence building and to cross the border into Pakistan. Till now 1,900 Afghans have been arrested and deported.

Norinco CAESAR in service with the PLA

SH-1 started as an export project with Pakistan and Burma be the two known customers. Latest photos from the 72nd Artillery Brigade, 72nd Group Army, Eastern Theater Command confirms that SH-1's PLA domestic equivalent is now in service at home. The 72nd Artillery Brigade also commands PHL03 300mm long range MRL and PLZ05 155mm tracked SP howitzer, a heavy hitting unit indeed.

This truck mounted 155mm concept was first revealed in 2007 based on the towed Type89 (PLL01) 155mm/L52 system. It can fire all standard 155mm NATO ammunition in addition to Norinco's 155mm laser-guided round. It is mounted on a standard Chinese 6x6 truck chassis but can be easily "remounted" with a local truck and a secondary 12.7mm machine gun for defense.

While the SH-1 sports no armor protection, it is light enough to be airlifted by a C-130 or a Y-9 class transport, making it a more flexible option for China's growing Rapid Reaction Units
