Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa has visited the Pakistan Army troops along the Pak-Afghan border in Dawatoi sector of North Waziristan, where lauded the soldiers for 'remarkable operational performance and high state of morale'.
In a statement issued by the Inter-Public Services Relations (ISPR), the army chief was briefed on complementing border security/management measures being undertaken, especially the progress of fencing along the complete Pak-Afghan border.
According to the ISPR, the COAS said: "We have to remain vigilant and steadfast to thwart hostile attempts to create chaos and reverse the gains of Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad."
Gen Bajwa said Pakistan was committed to peace and stability and for this reason, it was playing its part by solidifying border security and enhancing the capacity of Frontier Corps and other law-enforcement agencies.
He also lauded the residents of tribal districts for their 'unflinching support' in fighting terrorism, saying that 'peace has largely returned to the region, however, it will take collective efforts of the local population, civil administration and LEAs to retain the hard-earned normalcy'.
In a series of tweets, the military's media wing said that recent consolidation operations along the Afghan border ensured effective domination of some inaccessible pockets of land which were 'being sporadically used by terrorists' as hideouts. Over 90 improvised explosive devices (IED) were recovered during the course of the operations.
"Security Forces have active control of the last remaining stretch of the international border now in North Waziristan. This will further enhance the security of the public in both North & South Waziristan and strengthen checks over the illegal crossing of the Pak-Afghan border," it further tweeted.
