📌 Reportify News | June 21, 2026 The Nangarhar Chamber of Commerce and Investment has announced that empty Pakistani shipping containers that had been stranded at the Torkham border crossing for nearly nine months have finally been granted permission to pass. According to the chamber, the containers had remained stuck due to border-related restrictions and logistical challenges. The prolonged delay not only caused congestion at the Torkham crossing but also disrupted the flow of goods and commercial activities between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Officials say the clearance process for the empty containers has now begun, and the move is expected to ease congestion at the border, facilitate the movement of cargo vehicles, and improve trade flows between the two neighboring countries. Private sector representatives have welcomed the decision, describing it as a positive step toward resolving transit-related challenges. They emphasize that allowing the stranded containers to move will help address some of the difficulties faced by traders and transport companies. Business leaders have also called for sustainable mechanisms to prevent similar long-term disruptions in the future and to further facilitate trade and transit between Afghanistan and Pakistan. 🔹 Highlights: 1.
