Islamabad, Oct. 23 -- Pakistan has gradually resumed Afghan transit trade after a 10-day suspension caused by border tensions. The Directorate of Transit Trade announced that nearly 300 vehicles will be cleared in three phases, starting from Chaman Border. Authorities said the step will provide significant relief to traders, transporters, and cargo operators.
