Talking to Online, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Athar Abbas said Tuesday that concrete steps were being taken to retaliate to the attacks of terrorists from Afghanistan’s side on Pakistani territory.
He said that for the first time Pakistan army had been deployed with FC men along Afghan border in check posts in Chitral and Dir to combat attacks on Pakistani territory by terrorists from Afghanistan side. The ISPR DG added that steps were also taken to strengthen check posts along the border.
It is pertinent to mention that several incidents of organised attacks were carried out reportedly by militants from Afghanistan side against the check post in Dir and Chitral in last couple of months and Pakistan had warned of full-fledge retaliation if the attacks continued.
