Report GH Farooqui, Chitral
CHITRAL: A convoy of 70 trucks carrying edible goods and LPG gas from Peshawar to Chitral via Afghanistan was detained at Jalalabad, Tehsil Nazim Chitral Sartaj Ahmad Khan said while talking to this scribe.
He said the trucks carrying edible items, gas cylinders etc., were on their way from Peshawar to Chitral via Torkham-Jalalabad road but they were stopped by Afghan authorities. He said the Afghan government was demanding Rs25,000 per truck as tax. However, if their demand is met the prices of the items would further go up. He said some six trucks were allowed to continue their journey to Chitral which were carrying vegetables and were about to decompose. He hoped that the remaining trucks would also be released. These trucks have been stranded for the last five days at Afghan territory, he added, saying they were trying to convince the Afghan govt to release them.
