My friend you can disagree any which way you like. I dont have a problem with people disagreeing with me.I will have to respectfully disagree, Sir. This is not just a simple gate. This is a screening point on a very busy border crossing and for the establishment of which our brave soldiers fought and sacrificed. Indeed a lot more needs to be done and is being done as we speak. We have already seen security posts along the border equipped with GSRs, mortars and bigger guns for the detection and interception of infiltrators. You must've read about the night surveillance systems ordered in the MoD yearbook. We have Military officials on record saying that they'll be upgrading and multiplying that model wherever and whenever necessary.
My point of contention is that if you close one border gate a determined terrorist will find another way in. This has been happenning for ages. What we need is an Israel type wall with a road either side of it, and a no man's land mined and barbed to hte hilt to prevent any rat coming in. The same needs to be done to the Iran Pak border.
We have been harping on about it since 2002 and doing nothing as the roughly 2 billion dollars cost needed to be borne by the US or so we thought. Now that they have given us the royal salute anfd told us to take a hike, we have started work on it ourselves.
I would like to wait and see what impact it has on the acts of terrorism insid ethe country. I suspect we will continue to have some low level incidents. However the alternative narrative is that these rats are holed up inside the country and all the gates will not prevent them causing mischief. I dont know how fatr is realistic to go but if we dont go down this route we will keep losing lives and not knowing whether the incident was avoidable. So lets wait before we pass judgement.

We do . There are a lot of low level conflicts on going with Iran. Frankly I fear Iran more than Afghanistan. We have had quite a few incidents where people have infiltrated into Pakistand from Iranian border. Sealing that hole will close one more avenue for the rats to sneak in and close the chapter of insurgency in Baluchistan once and for all.We don't have any dispute with Iran right now, so we must dedicate all of all resources to close down border with afghanistan.
