Passenger flow, trade come to a halt as govt shuts Attari
The Indian government’s decision to close the Attari border will halt passenger travel and trade via the land route. In 2022-23, over 70,000 passengers and nearly 7,000 consignments worth Rs 3,900 crore passed through the border. This move signals India’s stance that normalization requires Pakistan to cease sponsoring terrorism, impacting Pakistani access to Indian goods.
