The transport administration amongst Peshawar and Jalalabad in Afghanistan by means of the Torkham fringe has been lying suspended for over a month as the Pakistan government has declined to give trusted status to three of the five transport organizations working the administration.

He said that the Pakistani powers had declined to issue trusted status to Afghanistan-based Pak Afghan Ettehad, Mustafa Yaran and Khabar Kamran organizations in May.
No reason was refered to for refusal of exceptional status to the three organizations, he said, including that the staying two, each having an armada of seven transports and mentors, had been permitted to proceed with their operation.
The transports famously known as Pak-Afghan Dosti Service would convey upwards of 250 travelers once a day.
The travelers were required to show at the Torkham fringe either their national personality cards or Afghan outcasts cards for their distinguishing proof.
Mr Khan said that the transport administration was dispatched in 2006 and he and the proprietor of the Asia Transport Company had put a tremendous sum in the business by building up independent transport terminals, procuring staff and purchasing new mentors and transports.

"They have debilitated our drivers and travelers and cautioned that our vehicles would be burnt on the off chance that we attempt to cross the outskirt into Afghanistan," he said. "Indeed, even the Afghan government is not making any move against the vehicle organizations notwithstanding rehashed protestations."
