‘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
