Chaman
The Pak-Afghan border crossing at Chaman reopened for trade on Wednesday, after it was closed in late July following a clash that erupted over border closure earlier. The border was reopened after talks with the Pak-Afghan border government committee and other relevant parties.
On July 30, at least two people were killed and 20 injured after shots were fired on protesters who stormed a quarantine centre at the border gate over not being allowed to enter the neighbouring country.
A woman was among those slain in the incident as protesters set ablaze the quarantine centre, set up along the Pak-Afghan Bab-e-Dosti gate, for Covid-19 patients.—INP
