PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): The caretaker Afghan government has shut the Torkham crossing, accusing Pakistan of breaching commitments.
A major trade route between the two countries, the busy crossing was closed on Sunday evening, a Torkham-based IEA official said.
Pakistan had reneged on its commitments, alleged Commissar Maulvi Mohammad Siddiq, who did not specify the obligations.
The step had been taken in compliance with instructions from senior officials, Siddiq said, asking the Afghans to avoid traveling via Torkham until further notice.
He added the two sides were in talks on reopening the crossing point for travel and transit trade.
