Chaman city is returning to normal life following the implementation of the One Document Regime. The eight-month-long sit-in had disrupted daily life and increased unemployment, leading residents to comply with the new system.
The local passport office has issued 9,500 tokens, with 7,500 individuals already receiving their passports. Despite the protests, people continue to cross the Chaman border.
Pak-Afghan transit trade has resumed, with cargo vehicles moving across the border. The prolonged border closure had affected thousands of local workers and transporters.
To address future disruptions, the government plans to construct a new road and terminal from Murgha Faqirzai to Badini border by December 2024. This move aims to safeguard Pak-Afghan trade and movement from potential blackmail attempts and end the monopoly of Chaman's blackmailing traders.
