Pakistan's foreign-ministry spokesman, Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry, said Islamabad didn't violate an agreement with Kabul that there would be no construction of new outposts on the disputed border, and that Pakistani forces were merely "engaged in renovation and repair" at the facility.
Mazhar Nisar, a spokesman for the polio-monitoring cell at the Pakistani prime minister's secretariat in Islamabad, said the program wouldn't be suspended countrywide.
