Sost, 01 May: The Khunzh’rav border was opened for traffic and trade, today. A formal opening ceremony was held in the border town of Sost, attended by immigration officials, officials of the Sost custom department and other notables of the region. Member of district council, Shehbaz Khan, had been invited by the immigration department as chief guest.

A group of fifty tourists, including local and foreign nationals, left for Kashghar, inaugrating the season for trade and travel. It is pertinent to note that the border remains closed for half of the year due to snow fall on Khunzh’rav pass and severe cold weather in the entire valley.

  1. May Allah bring peace and prosperity in Sost Dry Port this year and make our Silk Route Dry Port Trust a trust worthy institution!

  2. The opening of Afiatabad Sost Custom Check post is indeed a good sign for the business community . The Chief Gust ( Gambler Shabaz Khan) finally got the opportunity to represent himself as friend of the area!
    I think it is the duty of the home secretary to open the border.
    It is the subject of the chamber and commerce and not a political worker.
    Finally , I hope will do better as compared to the previous year and Goverment of Pakistan is request to minimize the taxation in order to improve the economy of the local community.

So i would like to congregate the new cabinet of Sost Dry Port ( keep it up ) it my personal request please
    No matter which path you choose, the important thing is that you take a systematic, long-term approach to compliance. Controls need to be clearly documented and there must be a single owner for each control. That individual needs to be responsible for testing and measuring that control.
