Zangali checkpost dispute: Torkham border work paused for hours
Torkham border news today: work resumed after a pause of about two hours, once Afghan authorities halted construction at the disputed Zangali checkpost.
Repatriation of Afghan families was paused for about two hours on Monday over the Zangali checkpost dispute.
Customs and immigration officials said operations resumed after Afghan authorities suspended construction at the site.
The Torkham market stayed shut for three to four hours, according to a local resident.
Pakistani border security forces have long opposed building or repairing the post near the zero point.
No official statement has explained the dispute, and sources say a stern warning helped avert a possible clash.
