QUETTA: Abdul Hameed Zehri, Deputy Commissioner Chaman said on Sunday that Bab-e-Dosti Gate (Friendship Gate) at the Pak-Afghan border, Chaman would be reopened for all types of movement from Monday (tomorrow).
He announced the decision in a video message, saying the border crossing would be reopened for commercial and all other types of traffic.
He said that the Bab-e-Dosti was closed in a protest after a terrorist entering from Afghan soil martyred an FC officer and wounded two others in the area.
