INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Takhar security authorities say they have the border areas in the province under control and will not allow threats to be created from
Afghanistan against Tajikistan
The acting head of the Takhar Police Command Qari Zakrullah Zaker says that they have the necessary preparations in place in coordination
with the National Army and the Border Police, and that there are no security concerns along the border at the moment
Our forces are stationed in all the districts that are bordering Tajikistan, and they are ready to provide any type of security, and we also
have a coordinating office that coordinates between our army and police,& said Qari Zakrullah Zaker
According to Zaker, the Islamic Emirate has arrested several drug smugglers in border areas and drug trafficking has been stamped out
completely in the province. Under the previous government, drugs were exported to and from Afghanistan from Tajikistan, but now our forces
are regular at the borders,& said Zaker. Six districts of Takhar province, along the Kokcha River, share a border with Tajikistan
The residents of Takhar say that they once witnessed artillery shelling from Tajikistan after the establishment of the Islamic Emirate but
they want the government to establish good relations with neighboring countries so that they do not witness such incidents again
As you know the situation in the borders of Afghanistan, especially on the borders of Takhar province & not long ago, we witnessed the
artillery attacks of the Tajik forces in different places, especially in the Khowaja Ghar district,& said Wasim Rasouly, a resident of
Takhar province. Early this year, several mortar rounds were launched from Khwaja Ghar district in Takhar, aimed at Tajikistan
Daesh claimed responsibility
Now Takhar security officials say that after that incident, they have taken serious security measures and have deployed more security forces
along the border areas with Tajikistan. The post Takhar&s border with Tajikistan secure: IEA official first appeared on Ariana News.
