The ongoing closure of the Torkham border since October 13 has worsened the difficulties faced by hundreds of stranded transporters, with many running low on funds and others experiencing physical and mental health challenges, according to a report by Dawn.
The protest, Dawn reported, was organised by the Pak-China Traders Action Committee -- a coalition that includes the Gilgit-Baltistan Importers and Exporters Association, the Nagar Chamber of Commerce, and several local trade bodies.
