Quetta: On Nov 21, Pakistan reopened a major Afghan border crossing that was shut for trade and transit after security forces clashed last week, officials from both sides confirmed. Abdul Hameed Zehri, Deputy Commissioner of Chahman, said that the southwestern crossing was reopened after dialogue between Pakistani and Afghan Taliban officials on Sunday. Thousands of people and hundreds of trucks that had been stranded on both sides were able to cross the border on Monday, Zehri said.
