The engineering effort has begun to implement a plan to close the smuggling corridors east of Diyala, which are being exploited by smuggling gangs.
A security source told the correspondent of the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA /: “The plan to close the border passages from Qazaniyeh and Mandali districts has begun to be implemented by an engineering team, and it includes the installation of barbed wire and control towers with the redeployment in the border posts at long distances.”
He added: “The tightening of measures on the border strip between Iraq and Iran came to prevent smuggling and the flow of any prohibited materials, and there will be monitoring and follow-up operations after providing the towers with cameras covering the entire area.”
