Hundreds of Afghans and Pakistanis with valid travel documents are now allowed to cross through the Torkham crossing in the northwest or the Chaman in the southwest.
The two are major arteries for trade and commerce, though there are other crossings which are less in use and which will remain closed. Fayyaz Khan, a government official at Torkham, said that 550 Afghans crossed over since the crossing was opened at 7am.
