As per sources, government security forces have started strict checking to prevent the smuggling of sugar, flour, Iranian petrol and diesel due to which hundreds of small car owners and drivers protested by closing the Pak-Iran highway.
Owners of small vehicles told reporters that there is no factory etc., in Chagai including Dalbandin, and most of the people are unemployed, as per Roznama Intekhab.
According to Daily Khabrain, Iran and Afghan borders are connected with the Pakistan border, due to which people are earning daily wages.
People say that Iranian oil should be released to our border areas so that people can have two meals a day. "We are not in favour of the smuggling of sugar and flour which are smuggled into Afghanistan," they said.
