A two-month closure of NATO supply to Western troops in Afghanistan has left nearly 4000 Pakistanis jobless.
Pakistan had blocked the supply line in protest against NATO raid on Mohmand Agency check post which left 24 Pakistani soldiers dead two months back, straining Washington-Islamabad relations.
According to the reports, at least 4000 labourers, previously making a living by working as crew members for transporters, are now jobless after the closure of supplies for NATO troops from Karachi to Chaman border.
Thousands of containers loaded with NATO supplies have been dumped at Karachi port and hundreds of container vehicles have been returned from Pak-Afghan border.

  1. If GHQ decides to reopen supply routes, people of Pakistan should stand up to block it. The civilian government is powerless. Decision makers have all along been the Generals. They are not concerned for Pakistan. Their only objective is to get as many plots (residential & commercial) as possible in addition to prime squares of land and kickbacks in arms deals.
