He said that 100 percent infiltration of militants can never stop at borders but now, if the militants succeed anywhere at the time of infiltration, they are being tracked and subsequently killed due to multi-layered security cover.
“Due to the ceasefire, an atmosphere of law and order has been established in the border areas while common people got a lot of relief from it and it has been our effort that the ceasefire agreement should last forever,” he said.
Targeting the neighboring country, he said that sometimes they do some wrong acts which would force them to violate the ceasefire agreement.
