Afghanistan deports 250 Pakistanis due to border tension








KABUL: Kabul has deported 250 Pakistani workers as tension persists at the Pakistan-Afghan border in Chaman which remained closed for the 10th consecutive day on Sunday.

The Bab-e-Dosti gate was closed on August 19 after Afghan protesters attacked the Friendship Gate and burned a Pakistani flag, the Pakistan Times reported.

A Pakistani official said Kabul had expelled more than 250 Pakistani labourers during the past 10 days, Khaama Press reported.
