Trained dogs 'Alpha' and 'Delta' begin checks at Kanchanpur's Gaddachowki border post

The Armed Police Force has begun checks using trained dogs at Kanchanpur's Gaddachowki border post since Saturday morning.

Trained Labrador and German Shepherd breed dogs named 'Alpha' and 'Delta' have been deployed for the checks.

The checks have been launched to control possible criminal activities, drug trafficking and arms smuggling along the Nepal-India border area. It has been stated that the Armed Police Force has tightened security at this border post not only during festivals but on an ongoing basis.

Security monitoring has been tightened as movement at the border post increases during festivals including Dashain.
