Absence of Certificate of Origin: Hundreds of trucks stuck at Torkham border
ISLAMABAD: Over 750 vehicles, loaded with soapstone and coal, imported from Afghanistan have been stuck at Torkham border since last two weeks due to absence of Certificate of Origin, importers and officials confirmed. The officials deployed at Torkham said that they had been directed by the high-ups not to clear the soapstone and coal loaded vehicles, imported from across the border without presenting a Certificate of Origin (COO). The purpose of the imposition of fresh regulations implemented recently was to confirm the real origin of the product, they added. Torkham border reopened after 27 days The unexpected restriction introduced by the custom officials multiplied miseries of importers and other trading communities, clearing agents and transporters said. All Torkham Clearing Agents Association President Mujib Shinwari, while talking to Business Recorder on telephone, said that without their consultation, the Customs Department made mandatory the production of Certificate of Origin. He said that it was considered an obligatory document during the clearing process of soapstone and coal, imported from Afghanistan, stating it was unfair to the business community. The Customs officials should clear the stranded hundreds of loaded trucks through the previous clearing system and then convene a joint meeting of all the stakeholders to sort out an acceptable solution for the matter, he suggested. Shinwari, however, disclosed that earlier Customs Department had exempted vehicles from presenting such document. He maintained that sudden implementation of the new regulation will certainly suffer Pak-Afghan bilateral trading. Because of the new Customs rule, drivers of the stranded vehicles were badly suffering and most of them spent Eid-ul-Azha on the Landi-Kotal–Torkham road, he pointed out.

Scrumptious food defines Eid festivities
The festival of Eidul Fitr was celebrated with religious fervour all across the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. As per tradition families both hosted, and were, in kind, treated to delicious dishes. On the first and second day of Eid, most people visited friends and relatives' houses to greet them. Then on the others day, they went to entertainment venues, food streets and food courts to celebrate Eid. Children especially enjoyed the three days continuous holidays coupled with the weekend. Those seen out and about on Eid were seen with faces beaming with joy. The younger ones also cherished the added bonus of receiving Eidi, which is something children look forward to each Eid. They appeared very happy to collect crisp notes freshly issued from the bank. The women who are customarily responsible for preparing Iftar and Suhoor spreads throughout the 30 days of Ramazan were able to catch a break by going out to eat during Eid. Families and food lovers flocked to the food street and food courts of Stadium Road in Rawalpindi. Some enjoyed their favourite barbecue, others enjoyed chicken and mutton karahi as well as pulao. Meat lovers also ate dry tikkas and karhai from Shinwari, making up for the 30 days of fasting. Children also bought their favourite snacks, like burgers and chips, with their Eidi. On the festival of joy, the heads of families also spent generously to fulfil the wishes of their children and families.
