💨 Abstract

Pakistan's restrictions on border trade with Iran have caused economic turmoil and poverty in Balochistan's Rakhshan and Makran divisions, as these regions heavily depend on cross-border trade for survival. The closures have left markets, banks, and businesses shuttered, rendered thousands jobless, and disrupted the transport of essential goods. Protesters have demanded a review of government policies and the reopening of trade routes.
