Torkham Border Reopens After 25 Days: A Relief for Traders and Businesses

0
1K

After 25 days of disruption, the Pak-Afghan Torkham Border has finally reopened, bringing relief to thousands of traders and businesses affected by the prolonged closure. The shutdown had caused significant economic losses, halting trade and stranding around 12,000 freight vehicles on both sides.

The reopening follows successful negotiations facilitated by jirga members, whose efforts were acknowledged by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. With trade now resuming, businesses can expect a gradual return to normal operations.

Impact of the Closure

The prolonged border shutdown had devastating effects on cross-border trade, leading to financial hardships for traders and transporters. Essential goods, including perishable items, were stuck in transit, exacerbating economic difficulties. The reopening of the border ahead of Eidul Fitr is particularly crucial, as it ensures the smooth movement of goods during this important time.

Restoring Normalcy

Officials have confirmed that the border is now open for patients, while foot traffic will resume within two days. This gradual reopening ensures a structured transition back to regular operations, benefiting both Pakistani and Afghan citizens who rely on cross-border movement for medical and personal reasons.

The resumption of trade and movement at Torkham Border is a positive step towards stabilizing economic activities between Pakistan and Afghanistan. As freight vehicles begin to cross once again, businesses can hope for better days ahead.
