More than 20,000 Afghan nationals and other foreigners have arrived at Islamabad airport in the aftermath of the takeover of Afghanistan. Following the start of a special flight operation on August 16, 332 flights landed at the Islamabad airport, according to media reports. The evacuation effort from the neighbouring nation was confined to the airport in Islamabad.
According to local media reports, the evacuation flights for transit passengers will now be operated by the Islamabad airport only while the operation has been suspended at Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar airports. "We have made special arrangements at the Karachi, Peshawar and Lahore airports but now the operations have been suspended," the sources in aviation said, as quoted by Ary News.
Meanwhile, pedestrian traffic through Pakistan's South-western Chaman border crossing has swiftly increased after the terrorist group's lightning siege of Afghanistan. "About 18,000 people are now crossing the border on a daily basis," Hameed Ullah, the head of the Coronavirus Health team at the Chaman border told media.
