Negotiations between both governments also went in vain.

CHAMAN (Dunya News) – Trade activities at Pak-Afghan border badly got affected by prolonged closure of Bab-e-Pakistan (friendship gate) due to border tensions, reported on Sunday.

Afghan authorities closed the border on August 18 in a wake of security concerns but the tensions worsened when Afghanis staged protests and humiliated the Pakistani flag.

Taking notice of the incident, the security personnel closed the gate that badly affected trade and business activities between both countries.

Negotiations between both governments also went in vain whereas the continuous closure of the gate is creating difficulties for the people.
