Khyber Rifles

The Khyber Rifles is a historic paramilitary force in Pakistan, primarily tasked with border security and maintaining law in the tribal areas along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Originally formed during British rule, it has evolved into a modern paramilitary organization under Pakistan’s military, comprising local recruits who are trained to manage security challenges and assist in counter-insurgency efforts. The Khyber Rifles play a crucial role in safeguarding regional stability and supporting government authority in a strategically sensitive region.
