LANDIKOTAL: Torkham Border crossing remains closed for fifth consecutive day, resulting in $12 Million trade loss.
The Torkham border crossing, a crucial trade route between Afghanistan and Pakistan, remains closed for the fifth consecutive day, halting all forms of movement and trade in both directions.
Customs officials reported that the closure has resulted in an estimated loss of $12 million in potential trade over the past four days alone.
Despite negotiations between border officials from both countries, no breakthrough was achieved, prolonging the suspension of all movement, including passenger travel and cargo transport.
