PESHAWAR: The Afghan Taliban authorities on Sunday closed down one of the main trading and border crossing points with Pakistan, accusing Islamabad of reneging on its commitments.
The Afghan Taliban commissioner for Torkham said the border point had been closed down for travel and transit trade.

He advised the people of Afghanistan to avoid travelling to the border crossing in eastern Nangrahar province.
