On opening of border on 15 December, transportation of containers started from Khunjerab Top as per laid down COVID-19 SOP. The challenging task to manage movement of containers was made possible with assistance of local administration & FWO. All containers were safely moved to NLC Dry Port at Sost despite slippery conditions caused by snow and icing on road.
These containers carry machinery for hydel energy project, Corona aid for Education Department of Gilgit Baltistan and trade consignments as well. The goods at Khunjerab have been de-stuffed at NLC Dry Port for formal custom clearance. Empty containers will be transported back to Khunjerab Top for taking over by Chinese counterpart.
