ISLAMABAD: Cross-border trade and movement between Pakistan and Afghanistan remained suspended for the 18th consecutive day as key crossings, including Torkham and Chaman’s Bab-e-Dosti, stayed closed.
According to the FIA Immigration, around 4,000 to 5,000 Afghan nationals continue to return to their homeland daily through the Bab-e-Dosti gate, despite the suspension of trade activities.
Other major border points — Angoor Adda in South Waziristan, Ghulam Khan in North Waziristan, and Kharlachi — also remain shut, halting both bilateral trade and pedestrian movement.
The prolonged closure has severely disrupted commercial activities, affecting traders and daily wage earners on both sides of the border.
