JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Pakistan on Thursday once again closed the Torkham crossing for patients and passengers for the next three days, say officials in eastern Nangarhar province.

The official said the key crossing point had been closed for three days, but the gate would stay open for transit in both directions,
Torkham Commissar Mullah Abdul Jabbar Hikmat, meanwhile, urged the people not to travel across the Durand Line over the next three days.
