PESHAWAR: The government
has decided to vacate one kilo meter area along the Pak-Afghan
border at Torkham in order to provide facilities to the
Customs and other government agencies.
The decision was taken to provide parking for the vehicles of
Customs and Immigration Departments and to construct a
monument in the area.
Private property is very much close to the Pak-Afghan border
and the Customs and Immigration departments are facing several
problems as there are no proper arrangements for parking to
check the vehicles in a smooth way.
During his visit to the area on Friday, Governor of NWFP Syed
Iftikhar Hussain Shah appealed to local tribesmen to cooperate
with the government on this measure.
The Governor said that the activity would help boost the
economy of the area. He said that the government would try its
best to compensate if some infrastructure was demolished
during the process.
