ISLAMABAD, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Pakistani security forces have completed major operations against the armed groups in the country, the military said Tuesday.
The army spokesman Lt. Gen. Asim Bajwa told a news conference in Peshawar that North Waziristan has been cleared of the militants and the repatriation of all displaced persons will also be completed in November this year.
Bajwa, who attended a special operational meeting presided over by the Army Chief Gen. Raheel Sharif, said the forces are now mainly focusing on the border management with Afghanistan to curb the illegal cross-border movement.
He said nearly 20 check posts have been set up along the Afghan border and raised paramilitary the Frontier Corps.
Pakistan and Afghanistan have around 2,600 km of border, mostly porous, and the militants would earlier take advantage of the weak border control.
