Pakistani & Taliban Officials Discuss Problems of Residents of Border Areas

As the sit-in continued at the Chaman border, Taliban and Pakistani border officials discussed the problems of residents on both sides of the border.

Hundreds of people in Pakistan have staged a sit-in protest against the Pakistani government's recent decision to ban visa-free travellers from crossing the border between the two countries.

Pakistani media outlets have reported that the border officials of Pakistan and the Taliban discussed the problems of the communities on both sides of the border and the undocumented Afghan patients who want to enter Pakistan for treatment purposes.

According to these reports, the sit-in by members of political parties, businessmen, and civil society of Pakistan has entered the fourth day and the main road of Chaman and Kandahar has been closed to traffic.

The government of Pakistan has decided to deport Afghan immigrants without legal documentation and prevent the movement of travellers without passports and visas to Pakistan.

This decision of Pakistan has faced the opposition of Afghans and parts of the Pakistani society.
