The Pakistan Army has revealed today that 83% of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border has been completely fenced and work is ongoing on complete fencing by mid-2021. Work on the fence began in 2017 with a $500 million price tag.

The entire border will be double-fenced with 3 meter tall chain-link fences separated by barbed wire. The 2,600 kilometre long fence will cut through snow capped mountain peaks in the north to valleys and plains in the south.

Furthermore, ISPR also revealed that 30% of the 900 kilometre long Pakistan-Iran border has also been similarly fenced and work will complete by late 2021.

Both borders will be surveilled by hundreds of colour and thermal-imaging cameras as well as armed reconnaissance drones and will also feature hundreds of major and minor border forts manned by Pakistani forces.

Though this fence is a good initiative and reduced terrorism in Pakistan. But there is design fault with net fence as it can not prevent small arm fire from other side of the fence. Due to which army and border guards are being killed by firing of Afghan terrorists. They should have build a concrete fence specially in selected areas where terrorist threats is high. They can still build a secondary concrete wall to prevent small arm fire.

Thanks. Mainly I was asking because on numerous occasions I have seen soldiers in khaki providing guard of honor so I though it might be winter dress.

Pakistan independence day at Razmak, Waziristan, 15 August 1947.

Indian and Pakistani independence in August 1947 spelled the end of the British Indian Army and its administration. The division of this force was overseen by Field Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck. Around 260,000 men, mainly Hindus and Sikhs, went to India and 140,000 men, mainly Muslims, went to Pakistan.

From a photograph album, collated and annotated by Lieutenant Frank Leeson, Sikh Regiment.
