PESHAWAR: Following the opening of Torkhum border in Khyber Agency and Chaman border in Balochistan, the Pak-Afghan border has now opened from Angoor Adda in South Waziristan Agency (SWA).
Initially, the border is opened for pedestrian movement only and to be completely opened within a week for transportation of goods, Collector Custom Peshawar Qurban Ali told APP here Thursday.
He said the staff of custom would be deployed within this week on the border point after which the import and export of goods would start from Angoor Adda.
It is to mention here that the three border points were closed by Pakistani authorities owing to security reasons after a suicide attack within Shrine of Sufi Saint Lal Shabaz Qalandar in Sehwan Sharif in February 17 this year.
Torkham and Chaman borders were opened on March 21, however the Angoor Adda point remained closed, sources in political administration said.
It was learnt that a Jirga was held in district Tank of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa the other day where the political administration agreed to return the vehicles that were taken into custody from the border area to owners. (APP)
