Trucks line up as Pakistan closes Dork border crossing with Afghanistan

Afghanistan: Thousands of goods vehicles are stuck as Pakistan-Afghanistan border area of ​​Dork is closed. Businesses face losses as officials from both sides try to work out a solution. On Sunday, Taliban officials closed Dorkham, a key transit point for passengers and goods between Pakistan and landlocked Afghanistan.

There are more than 6000 cargo trucks lined up in a long line. It is said that the Taliban government has closed the border saying that the government of that country has not fulfilled the promise that the Afghan people will be provided with facilities for treatment in Pakistan. The closure of the border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan has caused losses to the traders of both countries. Afghanistan is also known to depend on goods from Pakistan for most of its needs. As the trucks have been stuck on the road for the last three days, the traders and especially the suppliers of fresh food products like fruits and vegetables are facing losses. Residents reported heavy gunfire near the Torkham border area on Monday morning, but a Taliban official denied any clashes and said the situation was under control.
