Torkham Border Closure: Pakistan-Bound Trucks Stranded in Afghanistan
The Torkham border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan has been shut since October 14 due to unrest in the region. This has left a line of cargo trucks bound for Pakistan stranded on the Afghan side.
The border closure follows clashes in Afghanistan's Nangarhar province. Despite attempts to gather specific details about the Pakistani government's role in the closure, information remains scarce. The situation has caused a backlog of trucks carrying goods intended for Pakistan.
As of now, the Torkham border crossing remains closed, with no immediate word on when it will reopen. This closure is expected to disrupt trade and supply chains between the two countries.
