      <title>Torkham border immigration system reinstated, enabling pedestrian access to Afghanistan</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330408223/torkham-border-immigration-system-reinstated-enabling-pedestrian-access-to-afghanistan</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The immigration computer system at the Torkham border has been restored, allowing for the resumption of pedestrian movement to Afghanistan starting today.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sources confirmed that the immigration section was reopened following the completion of necessary repair work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, only travelers with valid visas and passports will be permitted to cross.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the first time in 25 days that the border has been accessible for trade, which resumed on March 21.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The immigration computer system at the Torkham border has failed once more, leading to a suspension of pedestrian traffic to Afghanistan on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Immigration officials &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330408115/torkham-border-immigration-system-failure-halts-pedestrian-traffic-to-afghanistan"&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt; that, during the closure, only Afghan patients were allowed to enter Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The system was reportedly damaged by gunfire from Afghan forces, which typically facilitates around 10,000 crossings daily.&lt;/p&gt;
