PESHAWAR (APP): A delegation led by Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) Nilofar Babar from Chitral met Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi at the Governor House on Monday and discussed the opening of Broghil Pass.
The delegation included PPP District General Secretary Ahmad Ali, Muhammad Siddiq and Muhammad Akram. The delegation briefed the governor about the strategic significance of Broghil Pass, which is located near the Wakhan border. They said the pass was not only adjacent to Afghanistan’s Badakhshan province but also in close proximity to Tajikistan.
The delegation said opening of Broghil Pass could provide a direct and convenient trade route to both Afghanistan and Tajikistan, fostering economic activity in the region.
Governor Kundi acknowledged the importance of trade in economic development, saying increased commercial activities lead to higher imports and exports, ultimately strengthening foreign exchange reserves.
He assured the delegation that the matter would be discussed with the federal government to explore the possibility of opening the trade route through the Broghil pass.
This potential trade link is expected to boost cross-border commerce and contribute to regional economic growth.
