PESHAWAR: Pakistan on Thursday named the newly constructed gate at Torkham, the historic trade route and border crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan, as Bab-i-Pakistan.

With the gate completed, flag hoisting ceremony on the Pakistani side has commenced.

The flag is hoisted at 6am, signaling the opening of the gate, and is lowered at 7pm, with the border crossing closed for the day. The flag ceremony mirrors the one conducted daily at Wagah border crossing.

It was deliberated earlier that the under construction gate be called Major Ali Jawad Changezi gate, after the army major lost his life in skirmishes against Afghan security forces.

The crossing terminal has now been named Shaheed Major Ali Jawad Changezi terminal. The name for the gate and the crossing terminal was decided in a high level security meeting, said sources.

Clashes between Pakistani and Afghan security forces over the construction of the border gate last month left four soldiers dead on both sides, including Frontier Corp’s Major Ali Jawad Changezi.

The clashes kept Torkham, one of the busiest crossing points between the two countries and used by 15,000 to 20,000 people and hundreds of vehicles daily, closed for six days.

Work on the construction of the gate and allied facilities began in 2014, but Afghan reservations over border regulation kept causing delays.

At least 10 border flag meetings have been held between local commanders since 2015 for resolving the matter, in addition to several other interactions at higher level.

The Afghan government has traditionally opposed Pakistani moves to regulate the border.

Pakistani authorities, meanwhile, insist that border regulation is crucial for curbing cross-border terrorist movement in both ways.

Under the new border management system, only people with valid travel documents will be allowed to cross the border.

Pakistan plans to have similar border control measures at all six major crossing points between the two countries that share a 2,600km-long porous border.

Additionally, there are about 200 crossing routes which are not frequently used because of difficult terrain and absence of roads. At least 88 of them are accessible only through jeeps.

[Rocky rock]

congratulations! now we should make strict security system by integrating body and Vehicle scanners so all the Trucks and humans crossing the border should be scanned through and should keep tight Security. From now on don't let those terrorist's cross our border who daily came and kill our children's and return back to their homes after finishing their dirty business.

I agree. A-team has lots of guts and tolerance to bear the insults/trolling which Pakistani posters in this forum spew against Afghanistan.

@A-Team

Please forgive the ungracious comments from our side. The message I have for our Afghan friends is the same as the one from Frontier Corps and GoP inscribed on the gate and that is:

Kush-Aamdeed - Islami Jamhooria Pakistan

 

[BetterPakistan]

Great. Fence entire Torkham border and keep a check on everything passing from there.

Good development. I think given time even the Afghan side will grow to appreciate this endeavor and may plan their own checkpoint/gate on their side to monitor the influx of people.

At this point, there is no possible wat to solve that mess. Better to just burn the unstable bridge, and rebuild it on your own terms.
