Pakistan has made elaborate security arrangements on its territory during the routine evening Beating the Retreat ceremony, said a senior official of the country on Monday.

Talking to media, Pakistan Rangers Deputy Director General Brigadier Shafaquat Khan, who arrived here along with a 15-member delegation, said there was no imminent security threat at Wagah border in Pakistan from any outlawed organisation during the evening ceremony.

The Pakistan Government has already made foolproof elaborate security arrangements at the International Border(IB)for the parade, he asserted.

Khan was with his team to participate in the quarterly meeting with his Indian BSF counterparts to discus the international border related issues.

The key issues discussed in the meeting were related to defence construction on IB, allegedly by Pakistan on its side, firing incidents, drug trafficking, arms smuggling, inadvertent border crossing, infiltration and other matter of mutual interests, said Indian BSF DIG C Vasudevan.
