💨 Abstract

The Torkham border between Pakistan and Afghanistan has been closed for five consecutive days, affecting commerce, travel, and daily life for thousands. The closure, due to disputes over contested area construction, has led to a financial loss of around USD12 million. Negotiations are ongoing to reopen the crucial trade route, which often experiences interruptions, significantly impacting economic activities in both nations.
