33 border outposts established on the border with Afghanistan

On October 14, the President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, during his working trip to the city of Khorog and the districts of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, noted the strengthening of control over the Tajik-Afghan border.

He stated that the strengthening of the state border will be under constant control in the coming years, and the construction of engineering structures and the installation of modern equipment for round-the-clock border control will continue along the state border.

He also noted that recently, in hard-to-reach mountainous areas and other difficult-to-control localities along the border, an additional 33 border outposts have been established.

Rahmon also stated that to date, more than 30 kilometers of the state border are secured with fencing made of mesh and barbed wire, as well as surveillance cameras. He assured that by the end of the current year, more than 50 kilometers of the border will be fully equipped with such protective equipment.

Experts note that recently, Emomali Rahmon has been particularly concerned about the increasing prevalence of illegal drug trafficking among government officials, as well as the fact that despite harsh repressions and mass killings of residents in the region over the past few years, the residents of this area are still the most aware of their rights in the country and continue to fight for them. This greatly worries Rahmon, and in these cases, he speaks with considerable dissatisfaction.

From October 12 to 14, President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, during his working trip to the city of Khorog and the districts of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, inaugurated a number of facilities and held meetings with regional leaders and activists.

During his speeches and meetings, Rahmon once again emphasized the importance of combating extremism, developing tourism in the region, and, as always, compared economic indicators with those from thirty years ago.
