NATO route blockade leaves 4000 Pakistanis jobless

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.
