Afghanistan has so far not responded to the measures taken by Pakistan to implement a border management system at the Torkham border in order to curb the flow of undocumented travellers, Foreign Office spokesman Nafeez Zakaria said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Zakaria, while briefing the media, notified that “Afghanistan\u2019s cooperation is extremely necessary in this regard”.<\/p>\n

Pakistan has introduced new policies along its border with Afghanistan, ostensibly to reduce cross-border terrorism. But the measures are also likely to add to human suffering for the thousands of people who frequently travel back and forth for work or medical treatment.<\/p>\n

Torkham is but one location where state monitoring has been increased; Pakistan has established 535 security check posts on the Pak-Afghan border in order to check movement of militants and illegal aliens entering the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cEffective border management is part of counter-terrorism efforts, which is in the interests of both countries because this is a common concern,\u201d Nafees Zakaria, a spokesman for Pakistan\u2019s foreign ministry, told reporters in the capital Islamabad on Thursday, without elaborating on the measures being taken. Similar action will be taken at other border crossings at a later date, he said.<\/p>\n

Pakistani security guards at the Torkham border made announcements on loudspeakers on Tuesday, warning the Afghan nationals to not travel to Pakistan in the absence of valid documentation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
