(Click To Enlarge)Supplies To Nato Forces Restored -- The News
LANDIKOTAL: Following the federal government's verbal directives to the political authorities regarding the restoration of supply lines to the allied forces in Afghanistan through Pakistan, the Khyber Agency administration on Saturday allowed oil tankers and consignments meant for Nato forces.
Sources said the oil-takers and trucks laden with goods for the US and Nato forces in Afghanistan were directed to cross Torkham border as soon as possible during 6:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Political administration officials said that the consignments were stopped due to security reasons as they had received threats from Taliban.
They said the Khassadar force at Takhta Baig checkpoint had been directed by the political administration not to let the trucks and oil tankers enter the agency as they needed high security for their safe passage to the Torkham border.
