Govt asked to issue passes to Pak-Afghan truck drivers
The Pak-Afghan Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PAJCCI) has suggested to the federal government that issuing special passes to truck drivers transporting goods between the two countries can resolve the concern of the security establishment. The PAJCCI has written a letter to the caretaker prime minister and suggested that to streamline and maintain smooth Pak-Afghan trade several measures were essential. The movement of goods has been suspended for almost 10 days due to the condition that the truck drivers needed to have a valid visa. The letter highlighted that around 1,000 truck drivers were regularly plying across the border and they could be issued special passes instead of visas after the security verification.
