CHANDIGARH: Notwithstanding rising tensions between India and Pakistan, trade through the Attari-Wagah land route remained unaffected with more than 180 goods trucks moving across for the second day today after Army’s surgical strikes across the LoC.
Amritsar Customs Commissioner Captain Sanjay Gahlot told reporters today they have “not witnessed any reduction in number of trucks”.
“The trade (through Attari-Wagah route) continues to remain normal. There is no indication (of any adverse impact on trade),” he said.
Customs officials said 63 trucks with tomatoes crossed over to Pakistan through the land route while 123 with dry dates, gypsum, cement, aluminum ore, salt etc moved into the Indian territory.
“The number of trucks crossing over to India from Pakistan is likely to go up in the evening,” another Customs official said. (AGENCIES)
