The closure had led to a significant backlog of trucks carrying essential goods and left hundreds of travelers stranded. Fortunately, with the Torkham border is now open, officials are swiftly clearing cargo vehicles and passengers, ensuring a return to normalcy in trade and movement.

The collaborative effort to resolve this issue is a testament to the diplomatic ties between Pakistan and Afghanistan, fostering optimism for continued cooperation and smoother cross-border activities in the future.
