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.
