KHYBER AGENCY: The security forces and Political Administration, through a notice asked the Pakistan nationals to produce their passport and visa documents, while entering into Pakistan at Torkham border. Signed by the commandant Khyber Rifles and the Assistant Political Agent (APA), Landi Kotal, the notice that was pasted at all public places in Landi Kotal and Torkham reads that after January 31, 2017, no Pakistani citizen will be allowed to cross the border into Pakistan without having the legal travelling documents. The notice also reads that those who would be find violating the law will be dealt with accordingly. Earlier, the Pakistan nationals who used to produce their national identity cards at Torkham border on return from Afghanistan were permitted to enter Pakistan. The administration officialm while confirming the new policy, said that the initiative had been adopted to regularise the border movement. The tribesmen expressed their regret over the implementation of the passport visa rules on the local tribes and said if it imposed, it would suspend their ties with relatives, in the border towns of Afghanistan. Malik Darya Khan Afridi said, on both sides of the border,the residents had blood relations and in case of attending a funeral or other social gathering, they would have to seek an Afghan visa for a brief visit of an hour or two. He endorsed every single policy regarding border management but appealed to formulate pro-tribal rules and regulations on the Torkham border. Malik Abdur Razaq, another tribal elder, while expressing his view on the matter said that the local tribesmen would be more affecting Pakistanis and declared it to deprive the local tribesmen of the lonely business carried out at the border. He demanded of the authorities to provide relief to the tribesmen while implementing the passport and visa formalities. The tribal elders also comprised a nominated elder jirga which would meet the commandant Khyber Rifles in a few days to apprise him of their reservations. It needs to be mentioned here that since the creation of Pakistan, the local tribesmen have been exempted of the passport and visa regulations by Pakistan and Afghanistan.
