CHAMAN: The Bab-e-Dosti remained closed on 12th consecutive day at the Chaman border. A spokesman from the Chaman Chamber of Commerce said that due to closure of the gate, traders have to use the Torkham border, which is increasing their expenses. Owing to the closure of Bab-e-Dosti, NATO supply, transit trade, bilateral trade and all movement has been suspended. On the other hand, the deadlock persists in Pak-Afghan border forces on reopening of the friendship gate. The authorities said that the senior Pak-Afghan officials would decide about the reopening of Bab-e-Dosti.
