| Zakhilwal hopeful on partial reopening of Pak-Afghan routes |
| 2017-02-26 |
| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan Ambassador to Pakistain says he is hopeful that the travel routes between Afghanistan and Pakistain will partially reopen today. He said the Afghan authorities are hopeful that the travel routes will completely reopen in coming three or four days. Zakhilwal further added that elder men, patients and children will be able to travel today while those who have travelled to Pakistain with visas will be able to return back to Afghanistan. He urged the Afghan people to travel with full documents including visas once the travel routes are fully reopened. Pakistain closed all travel routes between the two countries nearly ten days ago following a series of deadly attacks in the country. The Pak officials claimed that the attacks were plotted and carried out by the Lions of Islam stationed inside the Afghan soil. The decision was particularly taken after a deadly suicide kaboom rocked the Sehwan city of Pakistain, leaving over 70 people dead and scores of others maimed. |
