Transporters protest over vehicles stranded in Afghanistan

PESHAWAR, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th May, 2026) A large number of transporters on Monday staged a protest sit-in at Khyber Takiya in Landi Kotal, a border area along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier, demanding the return of vehicles stranded in Afghanistan.

According to the transporters, their trucks and vehicles have been stuck in Afghanistan for the past eight months.

Due to prolonged inactivity, many vehicles have suffered serious damage, causing heavy financial losses to owners and drivers.

The protesters said the worsening situation has created severe economic difficulties for transporters, with some families reportedly struggling to meet basic needs.

Demonstrators urged the government to take immediate action to ensure the safe return of the stranded vehicles and transporters and to prevent further business losses.

They also warned that the sit-in protest would continue until their demands are met.
