NEW DELHI - India has alleged Pakistan of blocking Indian Cargo flights to Afghanistan, Indian media has reported.
Pakistan has been stopping Indian flights to Afghanistan.
In recent incidents, Pakistan's civil aviation authority denied passage to SpiceJet cargo flights to Afghanistan thrice in last week of December and then on January 11 and 14, Zee News has reported.
India has taken up the matter with Islamabad, with the Ministry of External Affairs sending a note verbale to Pakistan.
The development comes even as New Delhi has been trying to connect Afghanistan with India and rest of the world. Pakistan has been blocking the land route for trade between India and Afghanistan.
The India-Afghanistan air corridor, launched in 2017, connects Afghanistan with Delhi and Mumbai. The Chabahar port being built in Iran with India's help also provides Afghanistan goods gateway to the world.
