TAFTAN: Tax free border trade activities through Zero Point, the gate between Pakistan’s Taftan town and Mir Javeh town of Iran, were resumed on Saturday after the trade gate reopened.

Taftan Assistant Commissioner Zahoor Ahmed Baloch told Dawn that the trade gate was closed almost ten days ago for Eid holidays.

He said mostly edible commodities were imported from Iran through Zero Point, adding these days nothing was being exported to Iran from Pakistan.
