Indo-Pak land trade route to be opened

India and Pakistan have agreed to open a land route for trading select commodities, including live animals.

The Indian revenue department today notified that the route through the Attari Land Customs station at Wagah could be used for commercial export and import of goods permissible under the government's export-import policy.

Pakistan had recently issued a Customs notification stating that imports of live animals, including buffaloes, cows, camels, sheep and goats, and potatoes, tomatoes, onions and garlic, would be permitted to be moved via the land route.
