MASSIVE PAK ARMY BUILD-UP ALONG LOC, IB
An assessment of Pakistan’s military preparedness by the Defence establishment here suggests that the
Pakistan Army has withdrawn 30,000 regular troops from trouble-torn Waziristan and deployed them at the LoC. These are besides the 25 per cent of its ‘reserve’ forces that have already been deployed along the IB and the LoC.
Also, Pakistan has kept the 15,000 troops, raised especially to guard the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), in readiness even as the Pakistan Air Force has been put on high alert. It has even replaced the Pakistan Rangers at the IB with its regular Army troops. The Rangers are Pakistan’s equivalent of India’s paramilitary force Border Security Force and guards the IB.
