Islamabad, April 25: Supplies for NATO troops in Afghanistan from Pakistan were resumed today after a two-day sit-in against US drone strikes ended in the country’s northwest.
Pakistani authorities had stopped NATO supply trucks and oil tankers as thousands of people had blocked the main highway, bordering Afghanistan.
Cricketer-turned politician and Tehrik-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan, who led a two-day sit-in in the city of Peshawar, last night announced that he would disrupt supplies to NATO forces if the US did not halt drone strikes in a month time.
President of the NATO contractors association Shakir Afridi said that supplies for the foreign forces resumed early today and hundreds of stranded trucks and oil tankers headed to Afghanistan.
Witnesses said they saw supplies trucks entering Afghanistan via Torkham border point.
