Pakistan has dug a 235 kilometre trench at the porous Afghan border to counter flow of narcotics and smugglers into Balochistan.

Frontier Corps was entrusted the task to excavate the trench in order to stop illegal movement at the border that separates Pakistan from neighbouring Afghanistan.

“Work is going in full swing on digging the trench,” Colonel Faheem of the FC told reporters visiting the border.  He said the excavation of the trench was part of the government’s efforts to tighten security around the border and ensure legal movement.

The trench was dug in the Loai Band area of Killa Saifullah district and was being excavated by paramilitary troops in districts located in northern Balochistan.
