The busiest frontier crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan has been closed to trade in the latest row over document rules for commercial vehicle drivers crossing the border. Both sides blamed the other for the latest shutdown at the Torkham crossing, which started late Friday night, according to officials on either side of the border.
“Torkham is closed to commercial truck drivers without visas from Pakistani authorities,” Afghan border official Abdul Jabbar Hekmat said in a statement on Friday.—AFP
