Life in Chaman City is getting back to normal now that the One Document Regime has been put into place. Due to the eight-month sit-in’s disruption of daily life and rise in unemployment, the locals agreed to the new method.
9,500 tokens have been issued by the local passport office, and 7,500 people have already received their passports. People continue to enter the Chaman border in spite of the demonstrations.
Transit traffic between Afghanistan and Pakistan has resumed, with cargo trucks crossing the border. Thousands of local workers and carriers had been impacted by the protracted border shutdown.
By December 2024, the government intends to build a new road and terminal from Murgha Faqirzai to the Badini border in order to mitigate any future problems. This action seeks to break Chaman’s monopoly on blackmailing and protect Pak-Afghan trade and travel from future attempts at blackmail.
