India confirms Pakistani troop reduction at border LAHORE: New Delhi has confirmed that Pakistan has shifted troops from its border with India to its border with Afghanistan, Hindustan Times (HT) has reported. The paper quoted a top government official as saying, “There has been a 'thinning' of troops but they have 'many more' which can be moved out.” It said it was “the first official confirmation from India of Islamabad moving out troops from its border with India”. “This is a unilateral decision (by Pakistan) and has nothing to do with a similar reduction by India. We are under no pressure from the US,” the official said.daily times monitor.(Daily Times:Thursady ,May 14,2009)
