QUETTA: As Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan at Chaman remains closed on the second consecutive day on Saturday, authorities issued shoot-at-sight orders for those found trying to cross over.

The Friendship Gate was closed on Friday as part of tightening security in the wake of the suicide attack on the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan town of Sindh in which nearly 90 people lost their lives and over 340 others suffered injuries.

As a result, traffic and transit trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan also remained suspended.

“Shooting order has been issued to the security forces for those...found trying to enter...Pakistan illegally from any area of the border,” security officials said. “The Friendship Gate at Pak-Afghan border [has been] sealed for [an] indefinite period,” a Frontier Corps spokesman said.

“There will be no traffic between Pakistan and Afghanistan for an indefinite period,” border officials said.

Shops in the Vash Mandi area across the border in Afghanistan were closed and traders in Chaman also did not open their businesses in protest against the terrorist attacks in Pakistan.

Hundreds of trucks and long vehicles carrying transit trade goods and Nato supplies have been stranded on both sides of the border.

Official sources said that after the recent bomb blasts in Quetta, Lahore, Peshawar and Sehwan more FC troops have been deployed along the border with Afghanistan.

Fights them with no mercy but when they surrender then do as our prophet pbnh did. Educate them. If they still persist then may Allah have mercy upon them

But the thing is why are we beig reactive for the last 15 years, its a complete failure on the part of our beloved fauj.
As they say never blame the enemy but blame yourself.

Terrorists didn't kill 70,000 Pakistanis but the incompetence of both the Democracy and the establishment

The common afghani isn't the enemy. Those that control the government and the Indian sympathisers are the enemy. Unfortunately there are innocent victims in any war

While the Terrorist do the devil's work it's the weak and INNOCENTS who really suffers on both sides. Shame this on going situation won't make a difference. Because the real devil's are still alive and will do it again and again...

And you will cry over human rights violation in Kashmir. Tthere is a reason Pakistan looses on every forum.

Seems like something big is going to happen over the next few weeks; bigger than just simple cross border raids.

If we do decide to go into Afghanistan, it seems like China and Russia should support us at the UNSC so I don't think we should worry about consequences too much. As a non-NATO ally we'll probably also be able to reach an agreement with the Americans too.
