GWADAR/KHUZDAR: The Inspector General of Frontier Corps, Maj Gen Sher Afgan, has urged the tribesmen to play their role in restoring peace and order in Balochistan.

This he said while addressing a gathering during his visit to FC College in Panjgur and meeting with tribal elders of the area on Friday.

Expressing satisfaction over the law and order situation, he said the FC was prepared to monitor borders and fight terrorists and criminal elements. He, however, added that people’s help and cooperation was critical for elimination of terrorism.

Gen Afgan said that FC would not hesitate to render any sacrifice to ensure protection of life and honour of people.

“There is a change in the role of FC and attitude which would be further strengthened,” he said, adding that FC would do its best to serve the country and people.

The IG said that people wanted peace and order in the province for which the Frontier Corps would play its role and eliminate terrorism from society because it was its prime responsibility.
