Pakistan Military official says border fencing with Afghanistan will remain

Islamabad: Pakistan Army this week vowed to continue beefing up the fence on the disputed borders with Afghanistan despite recent tensions with the Taliban.

“The purpose is not to divide, but to protect,” the director-general of the Pakistani army’s Inter-Services Public Relations, General Babar Iftikhar said at a presser as quoted by The Express Tribune.

The Taliban government came to power in Afghanistan in 2021.

The Taliban captured Kabul on Aug 15 after foreign forces started leaving the country.

Babar Iftikhar made the remark against the backdrop of recent incidents of Taliban soldiers trying to remove portions of the fencing along the Pak-Afghan border.
