Sudden Closure Of Chaman Crossing Leads To Protests And Deaths

At least two Afghan people, including a woman and a child, were killed and over 20 were injured, as they protested the sudden closure of the Chaman/Spin Boldak crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan on Thursday.

Last week, Pakistani authorities had temporarily allowed for the Chaman crossing to stay open till Eid al-Adha for transit trade and pedestrians.

The sudden closure upset people and hundreds entered the quarantine centre established for COVID-19 patients and torched it.

Social media videos show scenes of chaos with rioters setting beds and mattresses on fire.

Sources also confirm that the clashes continued till late evening.

Pakistan’s Home Minister Ziaullah Langove is expected to address a press conference tonight to brief on the incident.
