After the Pahalgam attack, the Government of India has taken 5 strict steps against Pakistan, including closing the attic border and ordering Pakistanis to leave the country within 48 hours. Following the government’s order, there has been a competition among Pakistanis to return to their country. At the same time, the army has also closed the integrated check post on the Attari border. This decision is considered by the Government of India to take a step taken by the Government of India to break the back of Pakistan.
Attari Seema is the only site route through which trade between the two countries takes place. India sends items like soybean, chicken grain, vegetables, plastic ranges, plastic threads and red chillies to Pakistan through this route. Attari, which is just 28 km from Amritsar, is India’s first terrestrial port and is the only terrestrial route for trade with Pakistan. The port is spread over 120 acres and is directly connected to the National Highway-1.
What is import and export between India and Pakistan?
Attari check post plays an important role not only in India-Pakistan trade but also in the import of goods from Afghanistan. Trade and passenger traffic fluctuations are seen every year on the Attari-Wagah Corridor. In the year 2023-24, 6,871 cargo vehicles passed through this port and 71,563 people traveled by this route. Total Rs during this period. 3886.53 crore was traded.
Dried dry fruits, dried dates, gypsum, cement, glass, Indus salt and various types of herbs come to India from Pakistan and Afghanistan. Now the closure of this port will affect the trade of these items.
Pakistani citizens are returning to Pakistan
During this time the people of India also looked very worried. People who had to go to Pakistan for marriage or at the house of their relatives are also being sent back by BSF. Since the Government of India has closed the border, Indian people with Indian passports, who have received visas from the Pakistani Embassy, are coming to India. The Government of India no longer allows them to go to Pakistan through the attic border. There were some Indians on the Attari border who went to Pakistan from India on religious journey, but after receiving information about the closure of the border, they are also returning after completing their journey by half. People from India to Pakistan and returning to India from Pakistan looked confused and shocked.
