NATO supplies to Afghanistan through Torkham were restored on Sunday as containers were seen arriving at the border after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced ending its three month long sit-in blocking the supply.

Sources said that five containers, carrying supplies for the NATO forces have arrived from Karachi at the Torkham border after three months of suspension.

Customs officials said that all the five containers, after customs clearance, had entered into Afghanistan territory.

NATO supply was blocked through Torkham since November 23 last year due to PTI sit-in protests against the US drone strikes in tribal areas of Pakistan. The PTI had announced wrapping up its sit-in two days ago after the court declared the sit-in illegal.
