| Around 5000 troops have been deployed in the NWFP and 4,500 in Balochistan to reinforce the Pak-Afghan border and stop the infiltration of miscreants into Afghanistan thereby protecting the September 18 parliamentary elections from sabotage, said Maj Gen Shaukat Sultan, the ISPR spokesman. The total number of troops on the border has now increased to 80,000. The spokesman added that the length of the border and its rugged terrain make it impossible to completely seal the frontier. |
